Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (Outstanding)

Backman stays true to form with his quirky style of writing with his new book Anxious People. Set in a small Swedish town the night before New Year's Eve, it begins with an attempted bank robbery gone bad, which leads to a hostage situation in a nearby apartment complex. As the reader is drawn into the ever-shifting plot, a beautiful message unfolds at the end. 

This book was outstanding! It drew me in and kept me engaged throughout. I promise you, it is worth reading to the end!

"They say that a person’s personality is the sum of their experiences. But that isn’t true, at least not entirely, because if our past was all that defined us, we’d never be able to put up with ourselves. We need to be allowed to convince ourselves that we’re more than the mistakes we made yesterday. That we are all of our next choices, too, all of our tomorrows." - Anxious People, Chapter 71
