succmoipp 's review for:

Beartown by Fredrik Backman
4.25
emotional reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Perfect representation of what hockey culture is. Silence, misogyny, homophobia ... and the readiness to defend actions of any man as long as he can get pucks in the back of the net.

Incredibly slow for like the first 150 pages though.
