Beartown or (Scandal) by Fredrik Backman

Beartown by Fredrik Backman
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for giving me a ARC digital copy of this book.

I was excited to read this book because the author has written many other books that have gotten high reviews. I listened to "My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry" and loved it. I was excited to read another book by this author. It has some really good reviews, but I wasn't able to get through it far enough to see if I agree with the good reviews.

The story is about a small rural town, Beartown, whose only claim to fame is its hockey team. Supposedly there would be a big scandal about the team, but I didn't get that far. I don't particularly like hockey and all the way to 20% of the book, it seems like the whole book is about hockey.

If someone likes or follows hockey, this book may be very interesting, but it wasn't for me.
