"My Friends" by Fredrik Backman is a heartfelt and reflective conclusion to his Beartown trilogy. It's a story about friendship, forgiveness, and finding meaning after unimaginable loss. Returning to the small hockey town that’s seen both triumph and tragedy, Backman explores what happens when the people who’ve shaped us start to drift away and what it really means to grow up together. Is it nostalgic or devastating? Quiet or cathartic? Hosts Kacy and Tyler dive into the novel’s emotional depth, tender humor, and sense of closure to help you decide if "My Friends" is a fitting farewell or a reminder that some stories never truly end.
