A review by rachelmerrie
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

5.0

I don’t like to know what books are about before reading them. I picked this book up because I love the way Backman writes and the stories he tells. This book took a sharp turn a little over half way in that I wasn’t expecting at all. Once that chapter hit, I couldn’t put the book down. No matter who you are, where you’re from, or what you’ve been through, you will relate to this book one way or another. It’s inspirational, insightful, hilarious, and heartbreaking. I can’t wait to read “Us Against You.”
