it was amazing
bookshelves: 2023-goal

A remarkably uplifting read. I don’t feel inclined to say much� rather like a great meal or wonderful film, I think I’d like to just sit with the ending silently.

So here’s my review� if “A Man Called Ove� was your kind of book, then this is a book for you!!

PS� and I’m not talking about the Tom Hanks film adaptation� I mean the book! ❤️

Jonathan K (Max Outlier) Happy you enjoyed it as much as I did. That said, you might also enjoy "Harry's Trees", or "Other Birds" and perhaps "House by the Cerulean Sea" as well. I'm nearly finished with "The Wishing Game" and it's fun, heart warming and engaging
