A feel good spiderweb

I love the clever sense of humor that Fredrik Backman writes with. Anxious people tells a story of a group of people who make in impact on each other, whether they're realizing it at the time or not. Recommend for an entertaining feel good read.

stories intertwined

A book about a group of anxious people and stories intertwined. What we see on the surface is not always a reflection of who people really are.

HIGHLY recommend!

This is where commercial fiction meets a highly talented author! It is so well written and enjoyable.

Funny Heartwarming Perfect

For anyone, an engaging story about a bank robbery gone wrong and the people held hostage in error. The author writes with humor and respect about real people and how we need each other.

Could not get into it

Tooook way to long to try to get into the book.

Superb!!!!

This is hands down one of my favorite books- I will definitely be reading it again! The writing style is very unique but also engaging. The characters are very well developed. Plot twists keep things unpredictable. Compassionate and humorous- I actually laughed out loud which I don’t think I have ever done for a book- unexpectedly funny and sweet. If you are considering purchasing this book- BUY IT- don’t borrow Bc you will want to read it again and again!!!

Best book to start 2021 with!

First official 2021 book rec: Anxious People by Frederick Bachman Seriously. This. Was. So. Good. It was the perfect 2021 read! Not to mention the plot centers between December 30th (the day I started it) and January 1st (the day I finished it). It's a love story (not a Romance, that's different!) and a story about second chances and compassion and idiots. All of this is told through the lens of a hostage situation. It's not a crime story, it's a people story. It is dark but hopeful, harsh but compassionate, it's literally about the second chance that we all get with this new year! If House in the Cerulean Sea was the perfect sweet 2020 read to bring you comfort and togetherness, Anxious People is the 2021 book that tells us to keep moving and show compassion. You. All. Need. To. Read. It.

I couldn't put it down

I could not put this book down. A robbery takes place but not really. The robber ends up with hostages but not really. The ending is a surprise. I love the bits of humor as well. Great book.

Absolutely loved this one.

It was a bit kooky, a bit funny and a bit sweet. The characters were interesting and well developed. I'm going to try to get my hands on Backman's other books now!

Unexpected twists, very satisfying

So many twists I literally spit water at one point. Such a touching story and so so satisfying.
