Love is a strange thing. It takes you by surprise. 
 Unexpected friendship between Ove and his neighbours what made me fell in love with this book so much. I craved to read this book since last year after several book tubers talked about it. So I decided to give it a try and OH MY GOD--this book made me cry 
 Reasons I loved this book: 
 1. It was funny 
 2. CAT! 
 3. Friendship 
 4. Love story 
 5. Quirky characters 
 6. It was a touching story! 
 I only had a problem with this book when the transition between past and present. Sometimes when I read any particular chapter, I need to read the same page repeatedly to comprehend what just happened because occasionally, the time setting changed and myself just flow with the story without realising I entered into a different age, which was an entirely enjoyable experience. 
 Overall, I love this book so much. Frederik Backman is an excellent and hilarious author. He knows how to play with reader's emotion in his characters' story that makes readers feel sympathy and empathy for them; a desire to give a long warm hug and let them cry on your shoulder. 
 I highly recommended this book
