justjaqueline 's review for:

Beartown by Fredrik Backman
4.25
challenging reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Loveable characters: Complicated

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.
