Anxious People by Fredrik Backman

Title: Anxious People

Author: Fredrik Backman

Genre: Contemporary Fiction


From the author of A Man Called Ove comes a tale of a botched robbery, an unwitting hostage situation, and a group of people at an apartment viewing who have more than one reason to be anxious. You get the chance to peek into the lives of the hostages, the hostage taker, and the cops that are trying to bring everyone out of the situation alive. It's more character driven than full of action, but there were moments of comedy sprinkled in, too.

This story reminds of the kind of movies where the people end up having connections to each other. I could definitely see this as an ensemble cast sort of flick.
