I don't usually give 5 star rating to any book easily and you would have known that if you have seen my ratings for other books until now. But this book just blew my mind away. We all experience grief in some way or the other. But this man called Ove's earlier life was so traumatic right from the death of his mother when he was little, leaving him with his father and after few years, his father had died too when he was 16. This leaves him as an odd one, hermit or whatever you call it. But he was a man of principles throughout his life. That made his character so unique. He actually started living his life only after he met Sonja, his wife. "Ove had never been asked how he lived before he met her. But if anyone had asked him, he would have answered that he didn't." This particular quote made me cry for hours (I am not even exaggerating on that). I am sure that every girl/woman would die to have a husband like that. He just went crazy after she died. He just couldn't live without her. And one more thing I can't leave out here is a beautiful character named Parvaneh (neighbour of Ove). She was so cool and made this story so lovely. She is my favourite character next to Ove in this book. This book was so funny, had many cute moments and so lovable on the whole. I just loved it so much❤️ I am going to recommend this to every single person who asks me for recommendations.
