Anxious Peopleâ is a thought provoking and heart-wrenching novel that leaves your heart warm. Backman at his best. At its heart, this book deals with human connection and the impact people have on each other.

At first, I felt it was just too s-l-o-w, but after the 3/4 mark, the character development grew and I was truly looking forward to the next pages. I'm so glad I finished as Backman gives us hope for human nature.

Story deals with desperation, suicide, and the kindness of strangers. Gives us all hope!

Great line: as unsteady as a spider on an ice cube
