I really enjoyed this book, I think it is an amazing read that really gives some perspective on life and love. Ove was an amazing character, I love a curmudgeon with a heart of gold.

found this book extremely difficult to read because it is so easy to see our country becoming what this is. It was like doubled in difficulty by the main character sharing my name, it made it feel even more real to me somehow.

The portions of this on religion were interesting but not really something I cared for a ton, I struggle to find realism in a 15-16 year old drafting their own religious text.
