I started a new job so it took me a while to read this one, especially since it’s not a normal or usual choice of mine, but oh my god I think it’s now one of my favorites.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers, so I’ll be limited in what I say, but I cried hard and often while reading this particular book. There was also plenty of chuckles and smiles as well. Ove is a particular man with a particular way of doing things and while in the beginning I wanted to write him off and I didn’t quite like him, by the end you really see a different side of him and life.
I highly recommend this book.
