While not as good as Beartown or some of Backman's other works, Us Against You is a stronger novel than the vast majority I've read in the past year. If you want something about emotion, and life, and the human experience you'll find it in the town in the woods that loves hockey.
Graphic: Bullying, Death, Homophobia, and Grief
Moderate: Alcoholism, Drug use, Sexual assault, and Death of parent
