A review by themarinabox
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

3.0

I don't really know how describe how I feel about this book. Overall, I believe the main takeaway from it is empathy. You could be in a room full of strangers and we can never know what they are / have been going through in their own lives. Many layers that go beyond our first impression. At the end of the day, we are all doing our best.

At least, that's what I took from this book which goes beyond the simple plot-line of a bank robbery and a hostage situation.

This is only my second book from Fredrik Backman. I did enjoy Ove more than this just because I did find some parts quite repetitive but I've tabbed a lot of quotes that I would like to revisit.
