Just like everybody else, bank robbers can have bad days. And that's just what happens to set in motion the plot of Anxious People. Driven by a cheating spouse who is threatening to cut off access to their children, the wronged party turns to robbing a bank. But when things don't go right at the bank, the robber flees to the first door they see across the street, ending up in a real estate agent's open house for an apartment and creating the world's most awkward hostage situation. Meanwhile, a young cop and his partner (who is also his dad) must sort out exactly what happened to catch the robber.
There's something innately hilarious yet very real about the situation and the characters that are thrown together in this fantastic book. Yes, they're anxious people, and yes, there are definitely some serious bits, but on the whole, this is a wonderful, heartwarming story. Highly recommended.
