Anxious People

Review by Faalak

Mar 23, 2022
Anxious People
Fredrik Backman

Story revolves around how several strangers bonded in a weird hostage situation (Stockholm syndrome if you can say so?). Starts really chaotic but a very intriguing drama shown from different perspectives. Feels like a sitcom at times with bad puns and metaphors (could be 'lost in translation' situation). Emotions and thoughts of the character, narrator and reader can range from Dark to Pretty optimistic and a very romantic view of life. Loved the Second person perspective narration at times. Hits right in the feels by the end and put a smile on the face. The confusion I had at the start (and some unrealistic plot choices?) was totally worth it and I am glad I didn't DNF the book. ROMANTIC, SPIRITUAL and OPTIMISTIC (In case if someone asks me to describe this book in 3 words).
