An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a "quirky, big-hearted novel....Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it's a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure" (People).

Looking at real estate isn't usually a life-or-death situation, but an apartment open house becomes just that when a failed bank robber bursts in and takes a group of strangers hostage. The captives include a recently retired couple who relentlessly hunt down fixer-uppers to avoid the painful truth that they can't fix their own marriage. There's a wealthy bank director who has been too busy to care about anyone else and a young couple who are about to have their first child but can't seem to agree on anything. Add to the mix an eighty-seven-year-old woman who has lived long enough not to be afraid of someone waving a gun in her face, a flustered but still-ready-to-make-a-deal real estate agent, and a mystery man who has locked himself in the apartment's only bathroom, and you've got the worst group of hostages in the world.

Each of them carries a lifetime of grievances, hurts, secrets, and passions that are ready to boil over. None of them is entirely who they appear to be. And all of them--the bank robber included--desperately crave some sort of rescue. As the authorities and the media surround the premises, these reluctant allies will reveal surprising truths about themselves and set in motion a chain of events so unexpected that even they can hardly explain what happens next.

Proving once again that Backman is "a master of writing delightful, insightful, soulful, character-driven narratives" (USA TODAY), Anxious People "captures the messy essence of being human....It's clever and affecting, as likely to make you laugh out loud as it is to make you cry" (The Washington Post). This "endlessly entertaining mood-booster" (Real Simple) is proof that the enduring power of friendship, forgiveness, and hope can save us--even in the most anxious of times.

Super soft
Size: Small, Color: Light Blue/White, Size: Small, Color: Light Blue/White
Perfect fit! Bought as part of a set for a bachelorette trip and they are so comfy. Look exactly like the listing photos. Wore them through a Pilates class and a day of errands with no issues. Love the baby blue color with white contrast binding. Perfect stretch, fabric squat proof (thick enough nothing shows when you bend) and very durable.

Soft, fit, and love the color
Size: XX-Large, Color: Slate Grey/White
I love how soft these are and the grayish-violet color. They seem well made and wash well- especially for the price. You can’t see through them. They are mid weight so they keep you warm enough for air conditioning and Florida cold. Probably not snow worthy or wind strength though. They are true to size if you want them to fit but not cling or act like leggings. They have just enough room. I bought the matching jacket but I’m more thrilled with just the pants. The jacket fits as it should but not over my too many milkshakes stomach.

Happy with purchase
Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo Pink/White, Size: Medium, Color: Flamingo Pink/White
Acceptable product. Good fit and fabric feels nice. A little see through if you squat and have on dark or patterned under pants but if you wear undies that are your skin color, there’s no issue at all. I wish they came in a length that was just past the calf. These are a little long to be on my top go to legging for yoga. Minus one star due to lack of length options.

Well made and comfortable
Size: Small, Color: Slate Grey/White, Size: Small, Color: Slate Grey/White
Very cute and comfortable workout set! I bought the leggings and the matching sports bra sold separately. I am 5'4" , 125 lbs and bought a small in each. The leggings are tight but not too tight, doesn't dig in and doesn't roll down. Well made and thick material. Worked great for a very sweaty hot yoga class. I'll be buying more in different colors.

Fall or Winter
Size: Large, Color: Black/White
For me, these leggings are a perfect fit and perfect for Fall & Winter, maybe early Spring. Summer though, I would not dare. Comfort wise, the leggings are soft and perfect for the gym, grocery shopping, lounging, even sleep. I passed out in mine and slept just fine.
