Maybe I just don’t like literary fiction? Much to consider. Was bored. Obvious plot.

Kevyttä ja helppoa lukemista, mutta mukana oli myös syvyyttä. Sellainen arkielämän kirja, joka kosketti.

Helmet lukuhaaste nro 45. Kirja sopii haastekohtaan, johon olet jo lukenut kirjan.

I have read a few of the reviews for this book. It has its quirks and things you can take a dislike to, but I think that's the point!
I loved it. There are huge lessons to be learnt from this book.
Ove charmed me, and I actually did smile, laugh, roll my eyes, and even have a little cry. My heart is warmed. I'm sad to have finished it.

I really enjoyed this book there definitely were a few things that I had issues with such as 59 being considered old. When I think of an old person vibe I think of 70-80’s but it was still good. I enjoyed seeing Ove change as a person and the novel really shows you how grief affects a person.
