Hello! I’m currently about 50% finished on Fredrik Bachman’s Beartown. I have been thoroughly enjoying the character development. Some of the observations were so relatable as well.
But after reading the horrible chapter (where Kevin loses all humanity), I’m seeing a lot of parallels between this storyline and the show “13 reasons why”. I haven’t read that book, but posting this based on the show.
The show also revolves around a rich football player, loved by his friends, with absentee parents. And he has a best friend, who isn’t from a financially stable family, looked after by this rich boy. Sports/jocks rule the town.
I’m not a big fan of the show and this threw me off a bit.
Should I continue reading?
