5.0

This is such a beautifully written book, I don’t even know what to say. Ove and Parvenah and Jimmy and Adrian and ALL of them pulled at my heartstrings throughout this entire thing. The last couple chapters perfectly wrapped it up and the symbolism/underlying message is so incredible. Really, really recommend. An immaculate tale of humanity, family, grief, and what it really means to love. ❤️
