Fifty-nine year old Ove is different, grumpy, stuck in his ways and has lost the one person who meant the world to him, his wife. Ove wants to die, because he no longer has a reason to live, once his wife is dead and he is laid off from him job. But there are people who need him and a scrawny homeless cat that needs him and he keeps getting drawn into the lives of his neighbors, who love and care about him despite his determination to fight off that love and caring. This book made me sad but more often it made me smile and laugh and I'm so very glad I read it.

Thank you Selena!
Thank you Selena! Two of my favorite characters were Ove's 3 year old neighbor and his cat...both were just so cute.

After I finished the book, I saw the info about the movie and I can see Tom Hanks playing Ove. Have you read any of the author's other books?

Thanks Meredith. After that one I read My Sister the Serial Killer...such different books 🤣

George Newbern is an awesome narrator which makes me think I'll try the audio version of this book, also. Thanks, Nicole!

I immediately watched my first subtitled movie after I read this book because I wanted to see it, too. It was so good. Thank you, Tina!
