pithypants reviewed Us against you by Fredrik Backman (Beartown, #2)
Review of 'Us against you' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Beartown was my favorite novel of 2019, so it felt decadent to learn there was a sequel and spend even more time with the characters. I enjoyed (wrong word?) the first one more, but only because it took more of a "micro" look at the town, spending time developing all the characters. Because so much of that groundwork was laid in that book, this sequel focused less on the character development and more on the "macro" dynamics of a small town. Either way, Backman is a powerful writer - I found myself teary during both books.
