Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

5.0

This book was so well-written. John Corey Whaley effortlessly weaves two completely unique and different stories together, to create a mysterious and unforgettable roller coaster. Cullen thinks so many smart thoughts throughout the book. I specifically enjoyed when Mr. Whaley would start sentences like "When one is lying on the floor of his bedroom exactly ten weeks and three days after his brother has vanished off the face of the earth, he begins to imagine quite a grandiose scene. . . . ." and would proceed to go onto a complete side story, which were both funny, mysterious, as essential to the storyline. He writes so effortlessly, clearly, mysteriously, and with humor. Most importantly of all, Mr. Whaley makes the reader feel for and with and next to the characters he is writing about. I cannot wait to read more of John Corey Whaley's writings.

I would recommend Where Things Come Back to:
-anyone who is even mildly religious
-anyone who lives in or is interested in small towns
-anyone who likes a good twist and connection of two different points of view
