A Man Called Ove

When I first started this book I wasn't sure I would like it. The main character was so grumpy and negative, but as the story unfolded, I realized there was more to Ove than meets the eye. His relationship with his father, his wife and his neighbours all shaped who he was and how he lived his life.

By the time I finished the book, I was sorry to see it end and consider it one of the best books I've read this year.
