This book gave me a massive range of emotions. It was laugh out loud funny at parts, but also made me cry at others. It’s the kind of heartfelt book you can’t help but enjoy. I really enjoyed it. The characters were wonderful, and I loved how in a lot of ways the characters around Ove didn’t change, but how he saw them did. (Somewhat - he’s still Ove after all!) They all had distinct personalities, though, even if briefly there. I also really enjoyed the writing style. It made for a super fun read. Highly recommend this one!
