This book made me angry! It made me angry at how hockey culture can be so toxic! Fredrik Backman managed to twist a knife into my gut, and confront my own experiences with hockey culture. Some of the things in this book hit very close to home. I wish this book was around when I was living through effects of hockey culture!
