Beartown is about teenagers, their parents, life in the city revolving around hockey, social circles, friendship, courage, crimes, bullying, and the modern-day phenomenon of victim blaming. A realistic, strong, provocative story. After reading one chapter before bed, I had a difficult night sleep. But even though it's a pretty dark book, there was something in every chapter that touched me and made me tear up.
Don't let yourself be hesitant about reading this book just because of the hockey theme - I know nothing about it and have no interest in it, but I loved every minute of the book.
