There were moments that were slower paced (at least compared to the thrillers I typically read), yet it was still a short, feel-good read that was perfect for a relaxing Sunday. I loved how the author weaved in anecdotes from the past and gave us insights into how our narrator viewed Less. The ending was perfect and made me love the book even more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4.5\/5 stars A failed novelist is turning 50 and struggling with the idea of getting old.
