This whole series wrecked me. Backmans character building is like no other. He is an incredible author and this series made him my favorite. The topics are hard hitting but important and impactful. You will be challenged to rethink your perspectives and you will fall in love with Beartown and these characters.

I have no words right now. This book is amazing. It’s the perfect ending to the story of Beartown, as much as I did not want that story to end.

It’s delightful. It’s painful. It’s so very very human. It took my heart and stomped on it and gently pieced it back together.

I rate all the books I read too high and I don’t have the patience to fix that. So just know that this one is one of the best I’ve ever read, even if my rating doesn’t reflect that.
