Beartown by Fredrik Backman
4.0
Maybe if I hadn't read two other books by him that got 5 stars, I'd have given this one 5 stars too.
Oof this made a story about someone repeatedly trying to commit suicide seem like a walk in the park.
I have some criticisms for this, which I didn't for his others I've read. The ending didn't hit for me as much as I'd hoped. A little too neat and tidy. And maybe the writing style got a LITTLE overly, repetitively dramatic. You gotta portion that out a little bit more if you want it to have as strong of an effect.
BUT it was really absorbingly good.
