A review by kimelsalvador
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

medium-paced

  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

In a story of ‘he said, she said’ few people will believe the accuser until another person backs up the story. This is a real story of loyalty and what people will do to hide or cover negative publicity that could have a knock on effect to their beloved hockey team and one of their star players. 
There’s a few stand out characters that I really love - Benji and Amat in particular have very clear qualities their loved ones should treasure. 
I look forward to reading the other books in this series.
