5 stars//Physical Book + Kindle Book//This book broke my heart into a million pieces and I'm so so sad the series is over.
There are few other book series that I've read where I've fallen in love with the characters like I have with the people of Beartown. (And, let's be real, even Hed, by the end of this series.) There were several soul-crushing revelations throughout the story, but none as devastating as the finale. It's been a long time since I've loved a book so much and also simultaneously was so pissed off at it.
Benjamin Ovich will go down as one of my favorite book characters forevermore; I want a spinoff book about Maya as an adult and her adventures touring the world; and Fredrik Backman knows how to write a damn book.
