A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
5.0
dark emotional funny hopeful sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

To all my character-driven book fans: this one´s for you! The characters are EVERYTHING in this novel: Well fleshed out, flawed, driven, realistic and lovely! The story switches from the present to the past every few chapters and the reader will slowly discover the background behind our grumpy protagonist. A lovely and sweet story with a satisfying ending. Definitely worth a read! -> Maybe check content warnings
