Beartown

So impactful that I can pardon the odd overwrought moment and the occasional overly-blunt line - if anything is the major flaw here I'd wager that a few moments seem too... simple, I suppose? As if they're being spoon-fed? But that's a pretty small complaint considering that this had me holding back tears a few times

A few other notes:
-A whole lot less about hockey itself than the town's mentality surrounding the sport, which made for a truly interesting read
-Love the characters! Benji, Maya, Amat, and Ana have a very special place in my heart
-Looking forward to books 2 and 3, though I don't enjoy a certain implication...
-The ending is incredible, simply
