A review by justjaqueline
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

challenging reflective sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.25

The way this book explored its themes was really fascinating to me; I like when an issue is explored from various, sometimes very different angles, and I like characters that force me to think about other perspectives (even if I don't end up sharing them).
It felt didactic at times, but I think that could be good, for some types of readers.
