A review by tiffjbev
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

5.0

Is Anxious People as good as Beartown? No but, that's very high bar. Anxious People is still very good. It hews closer to A Man Called Ove. It plays to Backman's talent for revealing human behavior in a way that is both heart-rending and funny. I've seen critiques that the story jumped around too much or was too repetitive, but I found the way Backman wove connecting threads throughout the story to be charming, original, and smart.
