Beartown by Fredrik Backman
4.25
challenging dark emotional inspiring reflective relaxing sad tense medium-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
I really enjoy Backman's style and will definitely be reading more from him. I preferred Ove to Beartown, but this book definitely kept me hooked and interested all the way through. I love how Backman lets his characters be complex, but sometimes feel he could go a bit deeper with the relationship development. Didn't love the end as I felt there were a few loose ends I was wondering about. Still would recommend to a friend though!
