Summary
A grumpy yet loveable man finds his solitary world turned on its head when a boisterous young family moves in next door。
Meet Ove。 He’s a curmudgeon—the kind of man who points at people he dislikes as if they were burglars caught outside his bedroom window。 He has staunch principles， strict routines， and a short fuse。 People call him “the bitter neighbor from hell。” But must Ove be bitter just because he doesn’t walk around with a smile plastered to his face all the time？
Behind the cranky exterior there is a story and a sadness。 So when one November morning a chatty young couple with two chatty young daughters move in next door and accidentally flatten Ove’s mailbox， it is the lead-in to a comical and heartwarming tale of unkempt cats， unexpected friendship， and the ancient art of backing up a U-Haul。 All of which will change one cranky old man and a local residents’ association to their very foundations。

i loved it - it was very booklike if that makes sense - a perfect circular story that brings all the emotions it should in the right amounts and you leave feeling an indescribable way。 maybe i shed a tear， maybe i didn’t， that’s a secret i’ll never tell （i totally did）

I likely never would have finished this book if I hadn't chosen to listen to the audiobook version。 I loved the story and glad I made it to the end。 I likely never would have finished this book if I hadn't chosen to listen to the audiobook version。 I loved the story and glad I made it to the end。 。。。more

The best book of the yearI absolutely loved this book， even though the erasable Ove would have hated the idea that anyone was making a fuss over him。 For a man who unsuccessfully tried to take his life on several occasions， it turns out that he has found that joy in life comes from living it through helping others。

Such an endearing book。 I loved the characters especially Ove。 I had some giggles reading this book and it had an unexpected end

As someone that’s been accused of being a curmudgeon trapped in a young man’s body this one really resonated with me。 Happily moved to tears as I read those last few chapters！

“To love someone is like moving into a house，" Sonja used to say。 "At first you fall in love in everything new， you wonder every morning that this is one's own， as if they are afraid that someone will suddenly come tumbling through the door and say that there has been a serious mistake and that it simply was not meant to would live so fine。 But as the years go by， the facade worn， the wood cracks here and there， and you start to love this house not so much for all the ways it is perfect in that “To love someone is like moving into a house，" Sonja used to say。 "At first you fall in love in everything new， you wonder every morning that this is one's own， as if they are afraid that someone will suddenly come tumbling through the door and say that there has been a serious mistake and that it simply was not meant to would live so fine。 But as the years go by， the facade worn， the wood cracks here and there， and you start to love this house not so much for all the ways it is perfect in that for all the ways it is not。 You become familiar with all its nooks and crannies。 How to avoid that the key gets stuck in the lock if it is cold outside。 Which floorboards have some give when you step on them， and exactly how to open the doors for them not to creak。 That's it， all the little secrets that make it your home。”I LOVE THIS BOOK A LOT。 Truly I never cried so much（ I was a mess） a new life favorite <333 。。。more

A story about a man who wants to die because the only person that matters to him， his wife， is dead。 In moments it is heartfelt， but I often found myself not wanting to pick it back up。 A slow， but sweet story。

This book was a bit tough to get into but suddenly I was captured by this quirky character and his struggle with death and life after a death。

It’s so sad， but also happy， but also so sad。 Life is worth living。

This novel was absolutely fantastic。 Fredrik Backman created a complex， multi-layered， quirky main character who was beyond loveable。 This book made me laugh， cry， cringe inwardly & fall in love with Ove and the way his mind works with every page I read。 5/5 would recommend！

Absolutely loved this book。 I laughed out loud， I cried and laughed and cried again。 Brilliant， I shall definitely read more from Fredrik Backman。The only thing was Ove was only 59 and portrayed as an old man， 59 is not old！

I almost gave up on this book because I was afraid it wouldn't get any better。 But， as I began to grasp the depth of the story and the emotions involved， it became clear to me that I had to finish it。 It left a lasting impression on me。 It is now on my favorite list。 An excellent read！ I almost gave up on this book because I was afraid it wouldn't get any better。 But， as I began to grasp the depth of the story and the emotions involved， it became clear to me that I had to finish it。 It left a lasting impression on me。 It is now on my favorite list。 An excellent read！ 。。。more
