She was a huge fan of Ove, but did not like this one at all. I will probably still give it a shot, but it's being pushed farther down on the tbr pile.OnDBookshelfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11118403857218410959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-48074631256798057652015-07-07T09:30:43.748-04:002015-07-07T09:30:43.748-04:00I loved Ove.
