Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
3.0

2.75 stars

This was … fine, I guess. Not really my thing. There were a few moments that were very cringe-y. The therapist speaks like someone who likes to wax philosophical about psychological subjects but has never actually taken a course in psychology. And why are all these people so good at taking control of conversations where they are being asked questions when the people asking the questions (the therapist, the cops) should be much better at not letting them have that control? Those scenes were frustrating for me.
