A Man Called Ove

I so wanted to hate this book based on the plot summary on the back of the book. Desperately wanted to hate it!! Yet, the characters and story were so charming that I had to put my hate right back in its box on the shelf for some other bestseller.

Again, I'm writing a review well after finishing a book, but I recommend this one, which was recommended to me by a good friend, who similarly wanted to be filled with disgust after polishing it off.
