"We always think there's enough time to do things with other people. Time to say things to them. And then something happens and then we stand there holding on to words like 'if'."

Hi, it's me late to the game on yet another Fredrik Backman book 👋🏼

There's something so wonderful about a book that makes you remember just why you love someone - quirks and all and that's what Ove made me do. There were numerous times while reading A Man Called Ove that I had this feeling of unconditional love in my heart.

For the serious nature of this book, it didn't feel like it weighed me down. It uplifted me as it encompassed one of my favorite tropes - Found Family. Don't get me wrong, I cried several times, but the overwhelming feeling Ove left me with was comfort.

It's rare to find a book like this, and I'm so glad I finally read A Man Called Ove. Now, I can't wait for the movie with Tom Hanks because I can think of no better actor to play Ove/Otto ❤️
