If you've read Beartown, you absolutely have to read this one. It's a seamless continuation of the story, and it has even more heart and grit than the first book.

Us against you and Beartown are two of the most beautifully written books I've ever read. Benji's character is very relatable, the anger, apathy and fear of growing up lgbtq+ alone, a sad childhood, a missing sense of belonging in a way you can't express is very hard to write but it's perfectly. I loved every minute I spent reading it.
