The book follows our main character names Ove, who is a grumpy old man. At first you find Ove annoying, but more and more through the story you grow to understand him and realize he's not bad after all. Ove likes routine and consistency. He doesn't like change or adapting to the modern world. When he had new neighbors move in, they challenge that routine. You see Ove transform as he accidentally forms a friendship with his neighbors.
This book made me cry as you read flashbacks and see sadness in his past and happiness when he meets and falls in love with his wife. I love Fredrik Backman's writing style and how he takes his time establishing the characters.
This was my second Fredrik Backman novel and this one did not disappoint either.

This is such a cute story about love, lost, friendship, and time travel.
Orange follows our main character, a 15 year old girl named Naho, who gets a letter from her self ten years into the future asking her younger self to change things that she regrets to save her friend. Each of the supporting characters have such different personalities and they all as friends blend well together and play to each others strengths. They love and support each other and have such a great bond.
It deals with hard hitting themes like mental health, suicide, and regret. It has a good balance of cute, fun scenes and sad moments that pull at your heart strings.
This easy-to-read modern manga with amazing artwork is a perfect starting manga for anyone.
I can't wait to see where the story goes in Volume 2.

Brian Selznick did it again.. His combination of artwork and text work so well together and for this story they blend well.
Having Rose story in pictures and Ben's in text made the reading experience better and how even though they were two different stories, Rose's took place in the 20s and Ben's took place in the 70s, they come together very well and you don't feel like it was forced.
Even though this is a children's book it is well written and adults can enjoy it too. This would be the perfect bedtime story for a child because not only can they enjoy the wonderful art work the story is easy to understand but doesn't talk down to children either.
Another 5 star read for me..
