Hey guys! I need a recommendation for a “grump lit” book for a challenge I’m doing. I already read A Man Called Ove. Any ideas? Thanks!

Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine

@Claudia thats my library!
I second The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window and Disappeared@
third!
The unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry is good too. I liked the 100 year old man better.
What is “grump lit”?
@Christina google says ‘(#grumplit™). Also referred to internally (since you know, that’s the only place it’s known) as “curmudgeon lit,” this trend is pretty simple—books about grumpy old men and women, who usually turn out to have hearts of gold.’
My Grandmother Asked Me To Tell You She Is Sorry may qualify. Even if it doesnt, it is a great book.
A Gentleman in Moscow
Thanks everyone for the recommendations! ??
