About this Event

Welcome to the Paramount Book Club!

Join your neighbors for our very first book club meeting where we'll discuss Anxious People by #1 New York Times bestselling author Fredrik Backman.

About the Book

What happens when a failed bank robbery turns into an accidental hostage situation at an apartment open house? Eight anxious strangers find themselves stuck together, and as the hours pass, they begin opening up and discover they have far more in common than they ever imagined.

With Fredrik Backman's signature blend of humor and heart, this story reminds us that we're all just doing our best, and sometimes the people we least expect can change our lives in the most unexpected ways.

Why You'll Love It

This book is the perfect choice for our community because it's warm, funny, and easy to read while still offering plenty to discuss. It explores themes of connection, second chances, and what it means to be human in today's fast paced world. No heavy trauma, just a feel good story that will leave you smiling.

What to Expect

Light refreshments will be provided. Whether you finished the book or not, all are welcome! Come ready to share your thoughts, meet your neighbors, and enjoy good conversation.

We can't wait to see you there!
