It’s hard for me to put into words how I feel about this book. It took my breath away. I don’t think I’ll ever forget Ove or these characters. The only con I have is that a few things tied up a little too neatly  for me, but I can forgive that. I laughed, I cried, I loved the time I spent here. I didn’t know some of the darker themes would be present, but I thought they were handled well.
