i’ve been having a hard time with a man called ove. i’m unsure why, but when i saw that fredrik backman had a short story, i decided to give it a try. i read this in one sitting, of course, and it really kept my attention. i enjoyed how there was a plot, but it’s main purpose was for character development and to show different lives and perspectives. i loved the conversations about human nature too. really good short story, i hope i can finish a man called ove soon!
