Beartown by Fredrik Backman
Did not finish book. Stopped at 11%.

If I read about hockey one more time.... I mean I knew the whole premise of the book was hockey but I didn't expect THIS MUCH hockey! I like Fredrik Backman and his writing style but this book felt too clunky and not so smooth, so sadly I had to dnf :(
