I think the story focuses on Ove’s suicide attempts way too much considering the way book ends. Throughout the whole story we see no character growth and then he just dies without really changing his outlook on life. The story as a whole was a fun read but i don’t think i’d pick it up again.
Graphic: Suicide attempt
