Ein unvergesslicher Sommer der ungeplanten Möglichkeiten - der große lebensfrohe Frühjahrsbestseller aus SchwedenDie perfektionistische Cassi führt in Stockholm ein Restaurant, aber dann ist plötzlich Schluss: Burnout. Cassi erkennt, dass sie so nicht weitermachen kann und fasst einen spontanen Entschluss: Sie kauft eine Waldhütte und verlässt die Stadt. Doch dummerweise geht im nahegelegenen Dorf bald das Gerücht um, sie wäre eine erfahrene Selbsthilfe-Guru. Immer mehr ihrer neuen Nachbarn stehen vor ihrer Tür. Doch statt das kuriose Missverständnis aufzuklären, beschließt Cassi, einfach mitzuspielen - und tritt ungewollt eine Lawine aberwitziger Ereignisse los ... Dieser umwerfend warmherzige, lustige und anrührende Roman über den Mut zur Planlosigkeit hat ganz Schweden in Begeisterung versetzt.»Ein cleverer, ein sehr lustiger Roman!« Fredrik Backman
