Beartown by Fredrik Backman (Titled The Scandal in Sweden) 5/5 Stars

Best selling author Fredrick Backman's best book yet. His debut book in 2015, A Man Called Ove, met with rave reviews and quickly became a best seller all over the world. Beartown is his fifth, with a sequel marked for June of 2018. It is his extraordinary writing that captures me, heart and soul. I feel like I am there living among his characters and their imperfect lives, but knowing each one's flaws, desires, and secrets. At its core is obsession, family, love, and scandal. Don't miss his books, each and every one is remarkable!
