It made me sad that he lost the love of his life and brought his heart with her when she passed.
Loneliness must have eaten him inside out. Good thing, he met new people around the community even though he's the most grumpy old man alive; people around him seemed to get his tough exterior.
It's like Ove complains a lot about other people's choices, decisions, and intelligence, but helps them anyway. I'm in my early 30s and I understood his annoyance because sometimes people younger or older than me are way different than I am.
This story is heartwarming, and sad, but funny at some points because of the community he is in.
I love that Parvaneh's kids considered him as their granddad, that's so sweet. He even gifted one of them a new iPad. So sweet❤️
Ove must have been happy to die and meet Sonja in the afterlife like what he wanted all along.
Even though he wanted to go; he touched people's lives before he did and that made this story worth reading.
It's as if he found a family before going to the love of his life. He must have a lot of stories for her.
Ove and Sonja's love story broke me😭
Now, I have to see the movie adaptation.🔥
