A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
3.5
3.5 stars
A very heartwarming story that I really enjoyed. I definitely liked the beginning and ending more than the middle. Sometimes the character arcs felt more abrupt to me, and I would have liked focusing on some elements/characters more than what we got. There were some parts that felt more shoved in rather than natural, and I think they could have been cut out to create a smoother transformation for Ove. Overall, I am happy I read it, and the ending was definitely cathartic.
