Great read. It was slow paced, but I enjoyed my time with Ove. Never understood the pushy behaviour of Parvaneh and why they became such good friends, but the story itself was well-written. I found this book both fun to read, while also giving me moments where I had to think about life.

Such an intense and fast read. At first I didn't care for the love story between Romy and J because of the weird age difference but as the ending neared, it all made sense and made me love the book.

i couldn't put this book down, it was such a fun tale that had so many twists (that I knew were coming, but they surprised me anyways). I am so glad I stayed up all night reading this one: beautiful summer vibes and a fun love story.
