I loved this continuation of the Beartown series. Backman does an amazing job of writing characters that feel like real people. This book and this whole series as a whole is very infuriating but it does a great job of portraying the struggles and the mindsets of a small town. Personally I didn’t think Vidar came out as strongly as the writer intended and there were a few characters I didn’t care about. But you’re not meant to love/understand everyone.
