Ove's the type of girl to insist he's not helpful, he just thinks you're doing it wrong, but it's okay he will do it for you (but only because he knows that otherwise you won't be able to do it properly, it's not for helping purposes, it's really not).
One of my favorite books of the year methinks! I 🫶 Ove, slay you grumpy but generous king 👑

The book was so much better than the film, but the film had a great adaptation and kept the best aspects of the book. I loved the ending of the book much more than the movie cause it showed
For me, a book that makes me sob and feel so many emotions is a great book.

While this book seems like it might be dark and depressing, it's anything but. I loved Ove early on, and I love the community surrounding him.
And the cat.
Especially the cat.
