I had to read this book as so many people said it was a must read. I absolutely loved this book. It made me laugh & cry. I loved the character of Ove who was an old soul from very young. The tragedies in his life made him a strong person. However, when the one person he loved the most (who brought color into his world) is gone, he is devastated. The arrival of his new neighbors, a cat who will not go away, and old friends make Ove rethink his lonely life. A must read!
