A reverse Lolita across the southern edge of the U.S. in pursuit of money, the past, and understanding.
Not just another white gay man, thankfully, possibly just a “bad gay.” 🤣 Arthur Less returns for another journey, but this time, around the U.S. instead of the world. The narrator has palpable affection for him that made me titter constantly; really, one of those voices that draws you in with its teasing warmth. Picked up the first immediately to compare since I didn’t enjoy it as much. Really good.
I might've liked this more if I'd remembered anything about Less from the first book, but also I liked it fine as is.

With Less I wasn't sure I liked it until I got to the end. This one, I'm still not sure I liked it, even after finishing. I think it didn't capture the same magic Less did, which I guess is fine, but sort of disappointing when Less won the pulitzer and this was just ok.
