✨️Audiobook review✨️ Beartown by Fredrik Backman⭐️⭐️"Time always moves at the same rate, only feelings have different speeds." I'm not really sure how I feel about this book if I'm honest. I mean I listened to the whole thing, it kind of draws you in. There was a lot that bored me, but there were topics that kept you intrigued on where it was going. I don't know if I really enjoyed the writing style and the narration was pretty mediocre. All in all it's a no from me. It was a long old book too, and it just kept going on but as I say there was something that kept pulling you back in. I will not be reading the others in this series.

Probably one of my favorite books this year. But it did make me feel SO MANY things.
