Oof, this hurt in the best possible way.
 
I'll admit, this book didn't start off very strong for me. I felt it was a little too meandering at the beginning and I was having difficulty staying interested in Arthur Less. However, as the story went on, I fell in love with his character and he seemed fully fleshed-out. 

This book was deeply touching, involving themes of love, mortality, regrets in life, worries of the future, and what it means to truly be a human being. I found so much of this book deeply insightful and I teared up at a very key moment that deeply touched me. I'm excited to read the sequel book, thank you so much Andrew Sean Greer.
