Vacillated heavily between comedy in the modern day and tragedy in the past. The tragic moments did make me cry, but the comedic moments were repetitive, often not funny, and I skipped through them very often. Just tried to get to the end of the book for book club, which was a fun do.

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.
