Beautifully written! This author managed to write a cast of characters that really jumped off that page and just made you love them (even Ove). 

This book takes the heavy topic of grief, how it can be all consuming to the point that you just want to give up and give in to death just to be with your loved one again. And then it spins it into another perspective that maybe your passed loved one is looking out for you by putting certain people in your life, in order to give you purpose again.
