Review of 'The Pause' on 'Goodreads'

5 stars

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange of an honest review

I absolutely loved this book! It had me laughing more than once with the familiar Australian humour. The main characters were relatable and funny yet realistic. Although this novel did have many sad and depressing aspects to it it is nothing like a [a: John Green|1406384|John Green|https://d.gr-assets.com/authors/1353452301p2/1406384.jpg] book (although I love [b: Looking for Alaska|240399|Looking for Alaska|Peter Jenkins|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388365343s/240399.jpg|460031] ). 'The Pause' is a story about the road not taken and how the protagonist Declan is able to overcome depression and hold on to his precious life. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a more meaningful contemporary comedy than you would usually find in the genre. 5/5/5 stars!!!

I would like to thank NetGalley, Amazon Kindle, Random House Australia and most of all John Larkin for giving me the opportunity …
