Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

A bank robbery that didn’t happen. A criminal who disappears. And eight strangers who become the worst hostages imaginable. However, these strangers have more in common than they think, and the ending will surprise everyone (even us readers).

This book is a journey. You don’t know where it’s going, and I found myself going back to find hidden clues. You will laugh and cry. You will be confused and intrigued. It’s not quite a love story and not quite a mystery but quite a bit of both. You see? Backman is an artist creating a tapestry and each thread contains its own story and at its end they weave together to reveal the full picture.
