The relationships in this novel was truly the best part for me. I loved reading about Ove's newfound relationship with his neighbors, and slowly seeing the ones he had in the past. He is very much a grumpy old man where despite how much he tries to fight them, a friendship and community can't help but form between him and his neighbors. It's hilarious seeing him try to beef with children, but the way they bonded with each other tugged on my heart.
