Solid 3 star book, I enjoyed the writing and it flew by fast, I just felt like Ove’s character growth was too abrupt. The author spent so long building Oves “curmudgeon” character, that they almost forgot that the point of the story is to see his character shift, and then just quickly made up for it. Still cried though.
