Everything is handled in a sensitive and thoughtful way, and nothing is gratuitous.ila_mae's review against another edition

That being said, I was completely riveted the entire time. I bawled my eyes out at the end, I couldn't wait to see what happened to Ove next and I just wanted him to be happy. I found it beautiful and deep and incredibly sensitive. Every character was super likeable and I was rooting for all of them. I'm so glad I read this and I loved it.
