A review by hakimbriki
By The Time We Leave Here, We'll Be Friends by Jeremy Robert Johnson, J. David Osborne
3.0
An impressive debut novella.Beautifully written. The descriptions and imagery are stellar; J. David Osborne has a talent for painting tableaux with words. Most importantly, the book is not weird just for the sake of being different.
However, I was expecting a little more action and despite the thrilling last couple of chapters (that ending!!!!), I just felt a bit let down. I do not have any problem with slow-paced stories and I am certain that, had I not read all the reviews on Goodreads and Amazon, I might have enjoyed the book a lot more.
I had to read the book twice to better understand the ending and I am glad I did. I am truly looking forward to reading J.David's new book.
