A review by aliciapajda
Beartown by Fredrik Backman

challenging dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

5.0

Another 5-star Backman. Both gut wrenching and absolutely beautiful story of human condition and connections. It took a bit to get all the different characters straight in the beginning, but absolutely worth it to see all the character development and interactions play out later on.
