Anxious people ~ Frederik Backman ☆ Review
Good morning,
I finally finished my second book this month, and my last owned book from my Spring TBR! 👏🏼 I had been wanting to read this one so much, after the hype it had gotten in the blogosphere, and fellow blogger saying how good of an anxiety rep this was!

My brain isn’t the best at understanding when novels have this back-and-forth time lapses in them.. so it took me quite some time to figure out what was going on here 😓 I however loved the writing so much that I just kept going anyway, which I finally realized the storyline about halfway in. I’m also quite a fan of “un-usual” way of telling the story, so the pieces of witness interviews sprawned within in was quite a nice touch!
The humor was so good, it made me giggle a couple of times; at the irony of the situation, at the character’s actions, at their humor.. I enjoyed how they all have a different personalities, and how the book can give us quite some good little life lessons within it.
The end was absolutely beautiful. I’ve balled my way to the end.. with a beautiful meaning & message that make you want to believe the good in people, aswell as show you that you ain’t alone in your struggles. Even if someone doesn’t look the part, it doesn’t mean that they aren’t doing their best and that they don’t have their own demons to fight off too.
Bonus; out of everyone within the appartment through our story, I was definately the older lady being so used to everyone not listening to her that she ended up talking aloud to herself anyway .. 🙊
«(..) how the most beautiful thing about her was the fact that she always stared life right in the eye, and no matter what it threw at her, refused to stop being a romantic. That takes the heart that hardly anyone possesses » p.256
