Wow – what a quirky book!
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman is a meandering story that sometimes leaves you shaking your head. Multiple characters are brought together in a random way that ends up being not so random at all. The author explores how interconnected we really are, how strangers impact our lives daily and sometimes the impact sticks with us forever. It is a tale of multiple love stories. I loved the coming together of things as the book neared the end. It was a touching story of human kindness….of strangers becoming friends through a shared experience or two.
The book left me feeling hopeful. It made me believe in the good of humanity. And the book made me keenly aware of how our daily interactions with others can really make a difference in big and small ways.
I can’t wait to read this book. Thanks for sharing your review!
