3.5 stars for this touching, albeit meandering story about Gill. This book made several “Best of” lists for 2022. I agree it was well written and somewhat heartwarming, but it didn’t change my life. It is really the story of Gill and a little 2 year ? chunk of his life when he for no well explained reason decides to walk to Arizona and move into a castle next door to a glass house. He has money to burn and there is a lot of him coming to terms with his worth in a non monetary way. The neighbors have two kids and he befriends the little boy who occasionally gets picked on by a bully. He also volunteers at a Women’s Shelter and meets a bird enthusiast. And, so it goes. If you enjoy books with no plot but a really thoughtful character – this is for you. I do recommend it, but as I said, it wasn’t a read that has changed my life in any huge way. My favorite character driven novel was, A Man Called Ove, by Frederik Backman. This was kind of like that but watered down.
