A review by minimaiae
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

5.0

“Anyone can nurture a myth about their life if they have enough manure, so if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that’s probably because it’s full of shit.”

This book was absolutely incredible
i was a little bit skeptical before i started as i had read one of his other books before and wasn’t the biggest fan but let me tell you i was hooked from the very beginning
the story follows many things but the main focus is on idiots

there were so many plot twists and i genuinely couldn’t tell where the book was going
the characters started off as a bit annoying but as the book progresses the characters change and adapt and become loveable as you get to see another side to them
they start off as strangers and end up as lifelong friends

i recommend this book to absolutely everyone i feel like everyone should read it atleast once

the way the book can go from telling stupid jokes to leaving the most heartfelt messages was incredible
