I don't review books very often, but this one was especially touching. I listened to it as an audiobook and made the mistake of finishing it in my car. Because of this I had to sit in the Target parking lot until I finished sobbing at the end. I'm not a big weeper, but this was strong story with believable characters that I grew quite attached to. A good read. Definitely the extra star is for making me cry.

Definitely a slow starter! I fell in love with Ove by the end of it. I’m just mad that it didn’t give us the reunion in the afterlife moment that I spent the whole book waiting for.

There just aren't words to describe the goodness of this book. It is all of the right things, at all of the right times.
