A review by jessiewinterspring
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

5.0

This is not a story about apartment viewing, a bank robbery, a suicide, love, or even the crime that all occurred in the book. This is about life. Story of living and how life and even the mere thought of breathing another day hurts. What parents feel and how children can never truly hate those who borne them into this world. This might be a fiction book, but it might be as well be nonfiction. It's thought-provoking and teaches the readers lesson about what it means to be a human through the eyes of various characters. And the characters, I've never met such lovable characters before. They were funny, annoying, odd, and arrogant, but all in all, they make this story great and hard to forget. I find myself sad and melancholy and laughing the next second. This is truly a very memorable read. If you think what I said is intriguing, then it is!
