I found this book on my Audible recommendations and really liked the cover, so I added it to my wishlist. Then I saw that clip of Backman that you're talking about. I was intrigued, then last week I was at a bookstore and saw copies of Anxious People on display. And they looked so beautiful, especially with the warm red colour (it's a different cover from the one you have here), I almost bought it. The only reason I didn't was the ugly 'now a Netflix series' sticker on the cover. And now I have seen your post, it really seems like the universe is really trying to get me to read this one.
Also, till today I actually had zero idea about what the book is about, but reading your post, I think I'll really love it. So I guess I have another book on my list now.
Oh I might need to give this a read! If you enjoyed this by Backman I'm sure you'll love A Man Called Ove - I've not read it myself but have heard so many great things about it.

This makes me so happy!!!
I just finished reading this and I found this post. Anxious People made me cry, made me laugh, made me watch the adapted TV series right now.
Yes!! And the Netflix series isn’t half bad… not great, but pretty good!
I just finished the series! Nahhh there were no funny bits in it. or maybe it got lost in translation idk that was what I was hoping.

I read that immediately after finishing Anxious People 😅 I’m drafting my review of that too but felt it deserved its own post!
Can’t wait to read that review!
Aw yay!! Beartown is on my list. I feel like I might read all of Backman’s body of work at this point! Lol
