A Man Called Ove

started out rough, but as everything came together, i found myself smiling and crying a bit! also laughed out loud in public a few times... lmao

this was a really wholesome, humbling read. the overarching messages of people having more to them than the person they currently present to you and how human kindness can go leagues in the right circumstances were really nice (albeit overly idealistic) to read. the sort of meandering plot builds a lot of intrigue as you learn that there's a rhyme and reason to ove's grumpiness.

but i still won't be going out of my way to make myself personable to every grumpy old white dude lol
