I was browsing in the Libby app the other day looking for an audiobook to listen to as I was working. I came across this gem that was available to checkout. The premise of the book at first was a bit depressing as Ove is facing life without his wife who has recently passed away. He decides he would rather join her in death than live what he thinks is a pointless life alone. He lays plans to take his life simply and neatly but is thwarted at every turn by people he is at first irritated and annoyed by and who he thinks are idiots. Slowly, though, they become a part of him and he loves and serves them in his own curmudgeonly way.
Recommend: Yes
Ficiton, death, family, friends
