I don't know why but I was expecting a long, involved angsty story so had delayed reading this until I had a couple of days without too many distractions. What I got was a fast paced, quirky, light hearted tale. Yes, there were darker moments but overall it was a fairly humourous story.
Jason had descended on Sydney 5 years ago and had taken that long to get himself back on top of his life. So we get the perils of young, away from home, under belly of cities warning without living it.
Ryan is the uber intelligent nerdy type kid, travelling before knuckling down to even more advanced studying. He is the warning about experiencing life before it passes you by.
After meeting, meeting and meeting then travelling they fall in love - and we get to see some of the wonders of Australia (following along on google) - but then reality hits and they have to deal with an assault, separation, long distance and new lives.
A good life affirming coming of age story, that I enjoyed more than I thought I would. 3.75*
