A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
5.0
My first five star read of 2023! I enjoyed this book from cover to freaking cover. A Man Called Ove was just such a wonderful and heartwarming story. It’s one of those books that reminds you why you love to read. I laughed, I cried, and I felt a whole lot of other emotions inbetween. This book was the perfect balance of discussing some darker themes while also maintaining a feeling of overall lightness and humor. I can already tell this is going to be a new comfort read for me and I will be recommending it to everyone I know. I am so glad I picked this up and I can’t wait to see the movie coming out with Tom Hanks as Ove/Otto!
Minor spoiler (both are introduced early on in the story), but I do want to put a trigger warning out there for loss of a loved one and attempted suicide.
