This book is a bit of a headscratcher for me. As my first book of the year I think it might not have been the best choice. I wanted something short and sweet after reading Priory as my last book last year, but found myself reading this, yes, short, but also time consuming book. And I mean that in the best way. I wanted to finish this quickly, but this book is not made for that. I do think because I didn't give it enough time, I didn't fully grasp it. I liked the writing, I liked the story, I was itching to grab something to write notes in the margins (didn't because this is a library book) I just didn't have an overall good reading experience and that was fully a me problem. I KNOW that I'll get myself a personal copy of this at some point and try again to spend time with this book and the many moments and lines that really hit home despite me sharing next to nothing with the MC.

This novel found me at a perfect time! The main character, Arthur Less, goes on a world tour to avoid going to his ex’s wedding, as he also frets about turning 50. It was a lovely mix of heartfelt musings on life, love, and aging, while also giving the reader a healthy dose of satirical humor to prevent it from getting too cheesy. A sarcastic gay man’s Eat, Pray, Love, if you will. The plot made me even more excited to do my own traveling soon, and it really put my fears of turning 30 into perspective. Arthur would have LOVED to be turning 30! I’m reminded that nothing is ending (unless I say it is). I like looking at a new decade as a beginning instead! I hope on my own adventures I get to meet some interesting characters like Arthur did. I enjoyed Sean Greer’s style, and Robert Petkoff is an INCREDIBLE narrator. He is remarkably adaptable.
