• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.5

A Man Called Ove is heart warming and gut wrenching in so many ways. Seeing the character development of Ove and how he slowly warms up to human interaction again was remarkable to read about. 

I would highly suggest looking up trigger warnings before reading this book.
