Us Against You 🐻⛸️🌲

book review | Us Against You by Fredrik Backman ❄️

my rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

Setting: Beartown, Sweden 🇸🇪

This is the 2nd book in the Beartown series and the books need to be read in order.

A year after Beartown is turned upside down and nearly looses their hockey team — they are back. They have a chance at a comeback with a new coach. But old bitterness still heavily lingers from past wrongs. 🥅

This series has kind of grown on me. Not my most favorite series ever but I’m liking it and I’ll be reading the 3rd book. I’m invested at this point. 🤷🏽‍♀️

This book contains a lot of small town politics related to the ice hockey team. Not the most enjoyable thing for me to read. 😐

But I mostly like the characters and I am interested to find out what happens to them!

Have you read Us Against You? Let me know what you thought! 🏒

In 'Us Against You,' Fredrik Backman delves deeply into the complexities of community life, focusing on the emotions that bind individuals together and tear them apart. The book showcases how a small-town hockey team can symbolize broader societal issues, illustrating themes of loyalty, rivalry, and the indelible scars left by past grievances. As Beartown's residents grapple with their identities and relationships, readers witness a poignant exploration of friendship and healing. Backman's lyrical prose captures the essence of Beartown, engaging readers while challenging them to reflect on their own experiences within tight-knit communities. The narrative underlines the importance of coming together, even when tragedy strikes. If you’re interested in how sports can influence communal bonds and personal growth, this book is definitely worth a read. Don't forget to check out the rich character development and the evolving dynamics that make this series compelling and relatable. Whether you are new to Backman or a longtime fan of the Beartown series, 'Us Against You' promises to be an inspiring journey into human resilience and fortitude.
