Is Britt-Marie Was Here a sequel to A Man Called Ove?
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
No Britt Marie is not a sequel to Ove….. but she is a character from My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She’s Sorry (so a spin off). Thanks for commenting and leaving your link! 👍😍
I loved Educated, so I’m sure I’d like The Great Alone as well.
My TTT.
I hope you enjoy! 👍😍 Thanks for commenting!
