This month we read (or tried to read...) Beartown by Fredrik Backman. I thought this was beautifully written and completely fleshed out - everyone felt extremely real with real motivations and emotions. But my god it was slow moving...
Like I mentioned in my Book Club 2023 review video - eventually I read the plot summary online and decided to return my copy to the library without finishing it. If it was half the size, I probably would have really enjoyed it. But it was way too slow for me to be enjoyable.
However, I didn't realise there's a TV show from HBO! Haven't watched it yet, but that might be a better medium for the story, in case you're interested in giving it a go!
Read/listen/watch this one? What did you think? ❄️
