I feel like this book tried too hard to not give it a happy ending. It felt like the same tension point over and over and over which got kinda boring

Us Against You had me in all of my feelings! I found myself laughing, crying, worrying, and getting angry. I really couldn’t put this book down once I started. The way it was written, I thought I had a few of the plot twists figured out, but I was wrong, and I love when a book can do that to me. Us Against You touches on a lot of hockey, and a lot of factors that I feel are very important. The storyline talks about rape, sexuality, addictions, death, and more. This book really had everything. If you’ve read Beartown by Fredrik Backman, I suggest you read this one as well!
