Was literally fighting tears every time I opened this book. Couldn’t fight anymore by the end. 
If you need reminding how precious life is go read it. 

I can’t get over how Sonja would have loved the life Ove built for himself. And the fact that she didn’t get to share it with him makes me physically sick. RIP Sonja and Ove
