Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

I started reading this book, I immediately began talking to my co-workers and family about it from literally page 1.  It got me right then and there.  I simply  love Fredrik Backman's writing and the amazingly unique yet realistic characters he creates.  He finds a way to say things that are so insightful and at the same time, completely relatable.  

As the author said, this story is about many things.  And it really is.  For me, it was about the human experience and how important our relationships with each other can be.  I don't want to give away any special moments from this story, so I will just say you need to read this book.  I was over half way through the book when a certain plot twist happens that I in no way saw coming and I had to go back to the first chapter to see how I missed it.  I loved that!

Anxious People touches on so many important topics: suicide, guilt, grief, belonging, family, desperation, love, and a world of others.  I hope that you enjoy this book as much as I did.  It was a glowing five star read for me and a novel that I see myself reading again just to experience it once more.  

I received this book courtesy of Atria Books through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
