Icon book review: Anxious People

This novel is about relationships. And idiots.
Posted by admin on August 25, 2021 - 6:00am

By Robert McCool

It's about how humor is the only safe guide to a pathway clear of the clay-more mines that lie in wait for those who love somebody, someone who has emotions too, emotions sometimes so like our own it's hard to differentiate between the two. Especially so on New Years eve.
