Beartown by Fredrik Backman
5.0

It’s one of those books you’ll never prepare for, ever. It’s everything and nothing at the same time. It’s watching your favorite show for the comfort of beloved characters and the disappearance to a place you feel a resident of.

I’ve never seen Friday Night Lights, but it’s how I imagine the story line would go. It pulls you in with the simplicity of a sport: Hockey.

It crushed and relieved my soul in one fell swoop. I loved every second of this book, even when I felt like crying and hugging my mom.

Prepare to feel hugged while there’s a knife behind your back.
