Us Against You audiobook – Beartown, Book 2

In the tranquil setting of a cozy cafe on a lazy Sunday morning, I found myself captivated by the world of Us Against You audiobook by Fredrik Backman. As I sipped my freshly brewed coffee, Marin Ireland’s soothing voice transported me to the small town of Beartown once again.

This second chapter of the Beartown series is another delightful and humorous tale that had me laughing out loud. Fredrik Backman’s writing is simply brilliant, capturing the essence of small-town life with wit and charm. And Marin Ireland’s narration, just like in the prequel, was absolutely awesome.

Us Against You picks up where Beartown left off, with the residents facing yet another blow as their beloved youth hockey team is on the verge of disbandment. The tension escalates as ex-players from Beartown now play for a rival team, reveling in their triumph over their former teammates.

Amidst this turmoil, a new and unconventional coach takes charge of Beartown’s hockey team. As they struggle to come together and perform well, old bonds are shattered while new ones begin to form. The growing hostility between Beartown and Hed threatens not only the future of the game but also the spirit of sportsmanship.

While A Man Called Ove may have made Fredrik Backman a bestselling author in New York Times, Us Against You proves his versatility and storytelling prowess once again. If you’re looking for an engaging audiobook that will make you laugh, cry, and feel deeply connected to its characters, then this is definitely worth your time.
