I think I understand the point of this book, but am not sure I'm it's core audience. I didn't mind the writing but it was ultimately unmemorable.

I started out uncertain about the opening chapter and the story trajector, but I’m glad I stuck with it. A really lovely novel - had me in tears at the end. ❤️

This book is beautifully written. I liked the story and the characters. What amazed me once I finished was how I wanted to hear from the characters more so I went back. Diverse perspectives on love, aging, and travel.

This is a book about: nothing.
There is no plot, we follow a character which has no development going country after country and thinking of his past partners. Boring. There is nothing here, the writing is not bad but nothing remarkable, there is literally nothing that stands out in this for me.
I guess the point of the author is that we can’t feel sorry for Arthur, as the narrator points out, but if there’s nothing happening apart from boring descriptions, the character doesn’t change and we can’t connect with the main character, what’s the point?

Love a good travel story. I didn’t like the technical narration or who the narrator was. I wasn’t interested in the “romance” and how it ended annoyed me. I am curious to read the sequel especially since I liked the adventure and inconviences of Less’ story.
