All the Lonely People

All the Lonely People gets 4.5 from me.

From the minute I picked this up I knew I was going to love it. It was such a bittersweet look into the human experience. I wasn't expecting the twists and turns Hubert's life took, especially around chapter 40.

I loved Gayle's writing, I felt like I knew Hubert and the jumping between timelines really helped expand on how he got to where he was while also making me love Hubert more and more, I loved that Gayle made Hubert so loveable but also gave him flaws and complications that deepened how complex a man he was but through it all love was kept him going and when the love was requited and he finally seen there was so much love from his new found family he could be at peace with all his previous loss.

A huge reminder that there's always love and friendship to find no matter the age or circumstance! I think Hubert felt he was lonely because he was old and alone but the whole story goes to show how loneliness doesn't discriminate and we all have a duty to each other to keep love and friendship alive.
