This is the sequel to Beartown, and it did not disappoint. A heartbreaking yet beautifully resilient story of a small town, and their highs and lows.
(Read via audiobook & physical copy, both are fantastic).
“This has been a story about ice rinks and all the hearts that beat in and around them. About people and sports and how they sometimes take it in turns to carry each other. About us, dreaming and fighting. Some have fallen in love and some have been destroyed; we’ve had good days and some very bad ones.”
