Backman never fails to make you feel something. This book made me feel anger, frustration, sadness, hope and joy all blended together. It was an interesting continuation of Beartown, though I feel Beartown could have just as easily stood as a stand-alone novel. This also felt like an end of a series again, so I wonder what could happen in the third. I’m curious to read it but the size of it is also scary! 🌿🌻
