This book was light, fluffy, funny, and an all around a good time while also dealing with heavy concepts. The main character, Ove, is your classic grumpy old man and is written in such a way that you can't help but laugh at how he interacts with the world around him. Going back and forth between present day and flashbacks of the past, the reader gets a sense of who Ove is and why he is the way he is. Overall, a great read full of the hilarity of everyday, mundane life. I would highly recommend this book!
