Anxious People by Fredrik Backman *Review*

I cannot thank Atria Books enough for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.  Have you ever known within 25 pages of a book that that particular book came into your life exactly when it needed too?  And by the end of said book it will have meant everything to you?  This was that book for me.  Thank you Fredrik Backman for writing it.  In a time when I have been at my lowest point in many years, thank you for giving me back hope and a sense that I’m really not all that alone in my loneliness.  We are all just trying to figure out how to get through life, one crazy day at a time.  So this is a story about all of us, because this book is in fact a story about idiots after all.

“This story is about a lot of things, but mostly about idiots. So it needs saying from the outset that it’s always very easy to declare that other people are idiots, but only if you forget how idiotically difficult being human is.”
