Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
5.0
Anxious People is about a set of anxious people (idiots, according to the narrator) who are in different ways connected to each other. I love how the author intertwines every incident with each character, creating a complete and intriguing picture.
The story revolves around an apartment viewing gone chaotic when a failed bank robber takes hostages. The group includes a retired couple, a wealthy banker, expectant parents, an elderly woman, a frazzled agent, and a mystery guy. They all have secrets and grudges, leading to surprising twists and turns. It's a book about peculiar solidarity and much more.
This is one of the best, most intriguing, gripping, and unique books I've read in a while. It wasn't the mystery but the portrayal of small social exchanges & human behavior that made me fall in love with the book. The book felt like a social mirror. I also want to appreciate the author's incredible writing style mixed with humour which kept me hooked till the end. This is a book we all must read. Perhaps, it might be the book you've been searching for.
