Book Review of A Man Called Ove

A Man Called Ove

A unique book, not my usual pick but I liked it. Ove is very set in his ways and can't understand why people do things other ways. I loved how Parvaneh saw through his exterior. Sometimes a person just wants to have a purpose in life and someone who understands them. I liked Anita's quote: "What sort of love is it if you hand someone over when it gets difficult? Abandon someone when there's resistance? Tell me what sort of love that is!" Ove's story is a love story and it really did make me cry in the end.
