Look at him tripping at the same broken step as always, pausing to look down in surprise. Look at him turning to take the last few steps toward the one who awaits him. His face tilted upward toward home. Look at him, look at him. How could I not love him?

this was such an absurdly written book and so hard-hitting in all that comedy, what the hell 😭😭?

i must admit, this whole mysterious narrator bit really motivated me to the end, and all of less’ crazy adventures in between just entertained me so much. deeply flawed character with a persona described as very innocent & youthful even when nearing 50……the narrator  had such a way with words that it was clear how much they adored every single bit of arthur less, our protagonist, that you could imagine. 

and i adored the reveal at the end, so….slight boost in rating 🌟
