the first part of this, i absolutely loved. i loved his interactions with the members of the senior center, trying to figure out what to do with his time since being retired, etc.
but what in the world was the whole rest of the book??? a good portion of the synopsis of the plot centered around the current events of his life, but that was barely apart of the actual book. the rest was incredibly out of left field and just too whimsical and pointless for me. i cannot believe i got through this book. the characters were very flat and underwhelming and there never seemed to be an established plot. this was incredibly disappointing.

False advertising. The MC is a Librarian but that has nothing to do with the plot of the story. Poorly plotted. Missed opportunities. Overrated. Disappointing.
