A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
5.0

I've melted into a puddle of goo. This book is PHENOMENAL as I'm sure everyone knows. It simultaneously massages your heart and then just squeeeezes it. It's quirky, crochety, almost meta at times, but so heartwarming. It's a book about life, friendship, and mortality. J.K. Simmons absolutely SLAYS the audiobook and had me tearing up at the end. I just want to hug Ove and tell him that he's a wonderful grump that should never change. And I may be considering buying a Saab.
