Reviews with content warning for Infidelity - Anxious People

Such a beautiful read centred on such a deep, complex, and sad subject.

Phenomenal examination of human behaviour and how everyone plays a role in everyone else's lives. So many fully fleshed out characters!!

A million stars for this book. I can’t say enough good things. The plot is wonderful. The characters are lovable, challenging, flawed, so real you just can feel them coming off the page. The story is hilarious. I was crying and laughing throughout the entire book. The way the author writes is so engrossing it’s like he’s just talking to you. I couldn’t put this book down and can’t wait to add this to my collection. I don’t buy many books and feel this is one I need on my shelf forever.

I loved this book. It was written in a really interesting way. The third person narrator felt like another character in the story; it had a distinctively snarky voice and editorialized about the action. The narrator involves the reader in the story by using "you" and "we" selectively to create common ground between the reader and the characters. "We pretend we're normal, that we're reasonably well educated, that we understand 'amortization levels' and 'inflation rates.'"

I didn't see the twist coming, and I loved it. It was a story with a lot of moving moments and beautiful relationships. It did spike my anxiety by naming the some of my own fears and insecurities, so I wouldn't recommend reading this if you are in a bad spot. It's a fun read, but not a light one.
