Beartown

Well written on extremely difficult topic. Perhaps not the best bedtime reading, but captured some very true psychological experiences, and I appreciate the validation. I kinda hate the town(sfolk), but love the HECK out of Ramona. I hope to see a lot more of her in the next books.

Reminded me in some senses of Dogville. Partner complained about lack of attention on goalies. I just worry a tad whether the book gives the sport in general a bit of bad reputation. (I play a lot and live in towns with leagues, but not too personally familiar with small towns or “clubs”. Write in sport of your choice, basically. Aside from touching on the expense of great for the sport, it was pretty light on hockey.
