This was a bit like a male ELEANOR OLIPHANT in certain ways. Andrew has SUCH an excellent job. I've been thinking recently about how certain jobs are super common in books and why that is, so this was especially fun to read--but also so sad. I felt like the ending and making a bigger impact was rather wholesome yet didn't come off as preachy. Captivating and well written, I quite enjoyed this.

Loved Andrew and the dry British humor.

This book was both heartwarming and hilarious--a great combination! It tells the story of boyhood friends who have become estranged but then reunite with a plan to walk the Thames Trail in England. The story is told in alternating chapters from the point of view of each of the men and also goes back in time to explain what led to their estrangement. I very much enjoyed this format; it was very engaging, and the pace moved quickly. The characters were flawed but likeable, and although I wish the ending had been different, it did not detract from my overall enjoyment of the book. It reminded me of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry or The Curious Charms of Arthur Pepper, but with much younger protagonists. Highly recommend!… (altro)

Not great literature, but a pleasant enough read.
