4.5

4.5* Backman does it again. With how much I enjoyed Bear Town, I knew I had to read (listen to) this one as well. I enjoyed this just as much! It follows people throughout the town after the fallout that happens in the book Bear Town, this time a politician is trying to save the Bear Town Hockey Club, but do we really trust him? Tons of stories to follow again, but Backman is a master at it. Add in heartbreak, renewed and broken friendships, family drama, and you have another banger of a book! I definitely need to keep reading/listening to more of Backman's books!
