When Things Happen Together by Jordan Clayden-Lewis

4.0

*Huge thanks to the author for reaching out and letting me know about his book, and sending me an ARC to read in exchange for an honest review*

Wow! What a raw and emotional journey this book is! We follow the blossoming love story of Thomas and Bruce as they leave the East Coast of Australia and travel right down the middle of Australia. Bumps in the road aplenty, this is a story about perseverance, finding yourself, and even being your own hero in healing from past traumas.

I love love love stories set in my home country, ESPECIALLY in my local city and places I’m so familiar with! I could visualise this story so well with the descriptive and emotive writing.

Something I really enjoyed was that I really didn’t know where this story was going for most of the book. As much as we all love a predictable cliche read, it’s refreshing to have a book where you want to keep reading because you have no idea what is going to happen next! A well-rounded novel that I’m so glad I read.

Now I really want to go on a road trip!
