A rollercoaster of emotions. Sometimes I would laugh at Ove's grumpiness and then immediately get silenced by his loneliness.
I always knew this book was a tearjerker, but I only cried at two sentences. "Thanks, Grandpa." "More than 300 people came to his funeral."


Definitely better than the Netflix film.
