Book review : Anxious people by Fredrick Backman

Anxious People...The most talked about book of 2021 and one I started in 2021 but finished it in 2022. Anxious people is a treat!

I wanted to read this because of the chatter that was going on around...where I tried not to hear any discussions because the title was intriguing enough to make me want to read it. And I never go by the reviews be it anything...I kind of tend to form perceptions soon.. and hence I sometimes like to call myself 'the most influenced'.

This is the first time I read a Backman too and man! I am in love with this man's writing style. The way the story enfolds, every character and their characteristics. The little details he mentions and the little things he specifically misses out just to make the story ever more interesting. And I will like to believe to keep the reader guessing and forming own perceptions and conclusions.

I am a romantic genre geek and hence I don't have any favourite characters from this book, despite the book being full of love. All the characters are intertwined by not just what is happening but what once happened too and it is fascinating to read such a story...with every chapter unfolding another revelation or just another one's guess coming true at times.

As Alex Schulman said to Backman...how it can feel when a text completely floors you...this is what this book made me feel....Complete...wholesome, after reading it.

I will just finish it off saying…this book will tell you something about you too.
