Book Club Meeting: My Friends

For our third, we’ll be discussing My Friends by Fredrik Backman — a moving and heartfelt novel about friendship, art, and the ways people leave a mark on each other’s lives.

About the book:

In a quiet seaside town, a group of teenagers spend their days escaping difficult lives through art and their deep friendship with one another. One summer, a painting is created that will eventually become world-famous. Years later, the story behind that painting begins to surface, revealing the powerful bond between the friends who inspired it and the life-changing events that shaped them.

As past and present intertwine, the novel explores how friendships form us, how stories survive over time, and how a single moment of connection can echo across generations
