Diary of a Shy Backpacker by Bruce Spydar

Date read: 26th May 2021

My rating: 4*
Genre I reckon: Travel Diary Fiction

Buy link: Amazon 

This novel is refreshingly honest. Let's face it; a young lad fresh out of uni has certain thoughts and these are well documented in this novel. 

Bruce has been rather unlucky in lust thus far. But as he journeys around the wonders of Australia (in the time before The Internet!), he discovers a few young ladies too. 

This book highlights the immense size of Australia - how varied, how long bus journeys take and how beautiful. 

I felt like I was on the journey too, which was a marvellous escape in this time of lockdown. And I really wanted BJ to get laid!? 

A fun read with many dirty thoughts.
