Anxious People

Now this is an interesting read.

I picked up "Anxious People", after the third unsuccesful attempt to try and finish "Norwegian Wood".

While both books explore human emotions and relationships, they do so in very different ways. "Anxious People", deals with serious themes like anxiety and loneliness with a much much lighter touch.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, and you'll walk away feeling hopeful. A bank robbery turns into a hostage situation, trapping a diverse group of strangers in an apartment. As they're forced to confront their fears and secrets, you'll get to know these strangers and find yourself rooting for them. It's a reminder that even in the craziest of circumstances, people can find solace and understanding in each other.

I found "Anxious People" to be a compelling read, especially after struggling to finish "Norwegian Wood" three times. While both novels delve into human emotions and relationships, their approaches differ significantly. "Anxious People" tackles serious subjects like anxiety and loneliness with a much lighter tone. The story centers around a botched bank robbery that evolves into a hostage situation, confining a diverse group of individuals within an apartment. As these strangers are forced to face their fears and secrets, you as a reader, become invested in their lives and genuinely wants the best for them.

The book is a comforting reminder that even in the most chaotic circumstances, people can find solace in one another.
