This book was great! The main character is a curmudgeon, yet he’s lovable and so funny. Knowing that the topic of the book is such a heavy topic it was surprising to do so much laughing.

what a beautiful, emotional read from start to finish! this book had me giggling and crying at so many parts. i grew to love ove and love all the characters woven with his story. have to say i didnt expect this book to touch my heart so closely, especially when i first expected it to be a mundane slice of life story of an old man. no, it was so much more than that. im truly glad and grateful that i got to read this book :)
