Us Against You by Fredrik Backman

5.0

This book was AMAZING -- beautifully written, insightful, poignant, and heart-wrenching. It's about hockey, but it's really about life: hard, but it's supposed to be. It's about human nature, how we are all both good and bad at the same time. It's about the divisions that exist between us: what they destroy, how we heal, and why they're never fully mended. Fredrik Backman is a writer who knows how to build characters that we want to know more and walk alongside for a while.
I'm not a hockey fan in the least, but this was a book I'll be recommending as one of the best I've read this year.
