Beartown by Fredrik Backman
5.0
This book just… had me. I was sneaking it into moments, vaguely aware of what it was building to, wanting to see what would happen next, then I just sat down for three hours and finished it in a “study break”. It just moves, quietly and peacefully and painfully and there are so many things going on between every character and you just want to hear more about each and every story and your heart breaks a million times but that’s just how life is.
Such a good quote out of this book: “The only thing the sport gives us is moments. But what the hell is life, Peter, apart from moments?”
An incredibly powerful and moving book.
On a lighter note, I went ice skating yesterday and you know I was channeling all of my new ice-hockey-skating knowledge as I struggled and fell so many times (but kept getting up!!)
