I have a bone to pick with the many slurs, fatphobia, and shrieking women. Might give Backman another chance to see if this was an Ove thing or an author thing but I have limited hopes.

- A very touching, domestic and beautiful reflection on humanity. I loved the simplicity of the setting and yet how largely generalisable it is to so many people's lives and experiences.
- Such a wonderfully crafted emotional book; reading it was a beautiful empathetic experience — all of my emotional responses were so visceral (made me laugh so many times, I felt happy and warm and sad so vividly).
- Made me CRY big time at the end (and a fair few other times throughout).

If you want an easy read, that’s still emotional in all the right ways then Ove’s story is a must read.
