Us Against You

Fredrik Backman

4.42 AVERAGE


Even better than the first book in the series, which I didn’t think was possible. I want to be a Bear from Beartown.

Another jaunt in Beartown that manages to both break and heal my heart. It takes a special type of writer to get me, a girl with no interest at all in sports, to cry for a town that lives for hockey.

I have yet to read a book by Fredrik Backman that I don’t love! Book 2 in the Beartown series did not disappoint at all. Another emotionally charged read.

I felt the beginning was a little slow to get into and then halfway I got really into it. This has some even better life lessons and valuable things to learn to apply to life. I loved the ending more than the first book!
