Just finished reading this book, and it was very moving. I’ve read one other book by Frederick Backman (And every day the way home gets longer), and loved it as well. Please suggest some books in the same style of these books (a bit more feel good like Ove would be great, but fine either way)

    I don’t really read literature often, but out of the few I did read, ‘A Man called Ove’ was one I really enjoyed. The one book I enjoyed even more than this was ‘Wonder’ by R. J. Palacio. It has an interesting style of storytelling and I could argue it to be even more touching, which is why it is my all-time favourite.

    It was surprising yet joyous to see someone having read the exact same book as I in this space. I couldn’t imagine giving anyone book suggestions anytime soon considering how little books I have read myself, but finally having the opportunity to do so has really lifted my mood today. Thank you kind stranger for making my day.

      Thank you. I’ve heard good things about wonder in the past. I’ll try that next. I usually read action and horror, but the few times I read books like these, I feel like may be I should read more of these and less of those.
