I really liked the first Beartown, and due to my enjoyment of that, I've faithfully finished the others in the series. This one took effort to finish. Even though I know many of the characters, it was hard to be invested in them this time around. It covered many of the same themes and felt unnecessary.
3.75.
This book took forever to read. I wanted to quit 600 pages ago.
I didn’t.
Here I am.

Wow. This trilogy was so good and this final book was the best of the bunch. Definitely best to dive into when you have the time to devote as it’s a long one.

Listened to second half on audio. Heartbreakingly beautiful.
I am in pain.
“To you who talk too much and sing too loud and cry too often and love something in life more than you should.”
“It was incomprehensible that the sun still rose. That it could bear to. That it dared to.”
“You’re the reason why we dream impossible dreams in this town.”
“Never trust anyone who doesn’t have something in their life that they love beyond measure.”
“This hurts too much to touch with words.”
“Sometimes the greatest leadership is knowing the way home.”

As I finish this trilogy that started with Bear Town, Us Against Them and The Winners, I’m reminded how much better my life is because of the books that I’ve read.
So many good things, hard things, and real things come out of this trilogy. Heartache, brutality, greed, grief, becoming an adult sooner than any child should, the love of a sport, the ugliness of what sports do to people, love, family, and friendship.
I feel sad that this story has come to an end, and yet so lucky to have had the opportunity to experience it.
