Heart wrenching, heartwarming, and hilarious. It’s a story about a grumpy yet loveable man who finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door. The audiobook, narrated by J.K. Simmons, was fantastic! This might be one of the best books I’ve read in 2022. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
