littlebookthief 's review for:
Us Against You
by Fredrik Backman
i would say that i felt more comfortable reading this in comparison to Beartown, but this book is disgustingly perfect in the way it was written, how humane it felt reading this, it was like i was on the edge on a cliff every damn time and that Mr Fredrik Backman just has a way of misdirecting the readers in the best way possible to keep our attention to the book. amazing.
update (2025):
no words. this book was just an amazing experience. i just breezed through it almost with no breaks. my eyes are puffy from the amount of tears i dropped randomly, because bro i cannot choose which chapters was the best, the most impactful, emotional, or just simply, perfect from this book. compared to beartown, this book surely has more positive undertones that gives a "hopeful" feeling in comparison to the overshadowing of disaster that was the first 50% of "Beartown". In this one, many character frustrate me, but gives me hope for development and a little snippet of their future, like they were real people and tbh, i love it because why am i relieved these characters are not just dead but instead, thriving after going through ALL OF THAT. dang. maybe my life means something as well, if i can feel this heavily towards fictional characters. now i'm not afraid anymore to give this book a 5/5 like the first one, it was just that good.
