4-5/5 ⭐️ Hinter einem gescheiterten Banküberfall, der in einer Geiselnahme endet, versteckt sich eine überraschend herzerwärmende Geschichte über das Leben, die Liebe, Trauer, Einsamkeit, Ängste und darüber wie Menschen das Leben anderer beeinflussen können. 'Anxious people' zeichnet sich durch seine Erzähltechnik und Schreibweise aus, die den Lesenden das Gefühl geben, dass die Geschichte auch sie selbst betrifft.

Fantastisch!

This book made me laugh out loud a lot but also made me cry because it is full of observations about we behave and function as humans. It is a beautiful and extremely clever written story about ethics, love, home and a bunch of lovable idiots with a lot of twists and turns which I didn’t see coming! I loved it!

ahh gott es bricht mir selbst ein bisschen das herz, dass es mir nicht so gut gefallen hat wie gedacht

4.5⭐️ ✨Anxious People by Fredrik Backman✨ I just finished this beautiful masterpiece, and I loved it with my entire heart. Anxious People isn’t just a book; it’s an experience, a reflection of life in all its messy, imperfect, yet profoundly human glory. This is the kind of story that grows with you—you connect to different characters on a deeper level every time you read it. It’s absolutely a book you revisit every five years because with time and perspective, it will speak to you in new and unexpected ways. The story begins with an attempted bank robbery that unexpectedly turns into a hostage situation in an apartment viewing. What unfolds is a touching and often hilarious exploration of human connection, vulnerability, and resilience. Fredrik Backman masterfully weaves together the background stories of each character, showing us why they are where they are and how their lives intertwine in the most unexpected ways. What makes this book so unique is its deeply emotional core. It reminds us that everyone is carrying their own struggles, and sometimes all we need is a little kindness and understanding to make the world feel less lonely. The characters span nearly every age group, which is why I know this book will resonate differently when I read it again at thirty, forty, or even fifty. For now, my rating is: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
