Anxious People

There were so many twists in this book that I got Twist Fatigue, and I didn’t even know that was a thing!

Call me bloodthirsty, but I was hoping for more gore in a book about a couple of axe murders.

I enjoyed this audiobook, but a friend pointed out its problems for me.

Kind of like “Girl, Interrupted,” but a rehab clinic instead of a mental institution and the main character knows she needs help.

Having read a number of books by and about people who are related to or friends with addicts, it was interesting to get the other side of the story

Ness does an excellent job of portraying mental illness in this YA novel.

True to form, Lawson is hilarious and deadly serious. Often at the same time.

I think this book was trying to be too many things at once.
