My Friends by: Fredrik Backman

My Friends tells the story of four teenagers whose friendship — forged during a difficult, defining summer — becomes the seed of something that reverberates decades later. Their bond and shared experiences shape a painting they create together. Twenty‑five years on, a young woman named Louisa inherits that painting. Intrigued by the tiny figures at the end of a pier in the artwork, she sets off on a journey to unravel the story behind it.
