Like books that got very popular but you never really could get into.

Less by Andrew Sean Greer. It disguised itself as an LGBT+ novel and in fact it started out like that. But it was an “American Idiot Abroad” story in truth. Dropped it after a couple of chapters.

I liked it at the time but it was just very much forgettable. I still haven’t bothered with the sequel because I forgot what the first one was even about

Aw I really liked this one! I think it appeals to the idiot in all of us (that still needs and deserves love).
