A review by chrystalo
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

5.0

This is a great book. It made me cry, gave me chills, and really felt real and true and more than I was expecting. It was, above all else, messy in a way that these kinds of contemporary novels can easily struggle with, and it was beautifully done. I can never read it again, but it was well worth the read the first time. Really amazing book club pick!
