5.0

This book was such a tender and funny character study of a very grumpy old man. Even though I thought I predicted what would happen it still took me by surprise in the best ways and really pulled at my heart. Ove reminds me of my own grandfather as well and he feels like such a real and focused character. Definitely looking forward to rereading this book with a new insight.
