Backman is so good at choosing the words that will elicit the hardest impact. So I spent my time with this, and I loved it. Each sentence, each word of this book seems like it was put there on purpose, like the author thought long and hard about each of them. It took me a while to read this, because I was reading every sentence ever so carefully. If a book takes me too long to read, I am probably not enjoying it. I am the kind of reader who devours books, and doesn’t read for too long. I am so surprised by how masterful of a writer Backman is. So I got the book and it was different than the first one. Thank you so much, Atria Publishing, I am forever grateful. Why are you limiting me? Anyways, I decided to write to the publisher directly and they provided me with the eARC. Because if you want a reviewer to rave about that book, I am that reviewer. And then it hit Netgalley US and I could only wish for it. Thus came a really dark period in my life when I was obsessively checking Netgalley EVERY SINGLE DAY to see if a review copy was available. So when I heard that there was a sequel coming out, I was thrilled, but also exasperated that I had to wait so long for it. I was and still am completely in love with it. It’s something that gets forced upon you.”Īs you all know by now, Beartown was my favorite book last year (you can read my review HERE). For some girls that isn’t something you choose.
