Book review:
A man called Ove- Fredrick Backman
“People said Ove saw the world in black and white. But she was colour. All the colour he had.”
Tears, tears, tears

Me llegó este libro cuando estaba súper sensible, así que me lo lloré entero. Me gustó, tiene buenos personajes y es fácil de leer, pero cae demasiado en esa categoría de libros "lindos" para ser un verdadero favorito. Full recomendado si quieren un libro inspirador sobre la vejez, eso sí.

This book is so bittersweet and warm. This is the book one needs to read if one wants a good cry while being held close in a hug. It’s a story of someone who seems so grumpy on the surface but is just a man steeled with grief and loneliness. All the characters in the book are either too nice or too bad but the benefit of that is the emotions we feel are pretty clear as well.
The story unfolds in a well paced and beautiful manner, not that there are many surprises - just anticipation. I absolutely loved the writing style, so simple, witty and relatable.
I ended this book with a feeling of contentment and a full heart, just like you would after a long conversation with a dear friend.
