5.0

This was just such a beautiful, emotional and inspiring story. To the reader, much like to Ove's neighbours, Ove is a character you grow to like and eventually love. The book had me both laughing out loud and sobbing (sometimes both at the same time). It had some beautiful lessons about love and relationships and life in general and was so heartwarming. I will definitively be re-reading this some day.
