The Next Together by Lauren James
How many times can you lose the person you love? High-concept romance from debut writer Lauren James. A powerful and epic debut novel about fate and the timelessness of first love. Katherine and Matthew are destined to be born again and again. Each time their presence changes history for the better, and each time, they fall hopelessly in love, only to be tragically separated. How many times can you lose the person you love? For Matthew and Katherine it is again and again, over and over, century after century. But why do they keep coming back? How many times must they die to save the world? What else must they achieve before they can be left to live and love in peace? Maybe the next together will be different…
The Next Together was a clever contemporary blending time travel and science fiction to create what is ultimately a romance across the ages* Diva Book Nerd *
I read this over two days and when I put it down overnight, I actually had a dream about the characters. They totally got stuck in my brain and I needed to know what would happen to them. * Reading Lark *
I thoroughly enjoyed the concept of The Next Together and the format of the book. The little notes scattered throughout the book were a fun addition. * happy Indulgence *
I have to say that The Next Together was really enjoyable. Some questions are answered, and some aren’t, and I am very glad that there is going to be a sequel. * Books for a Delicate Eternity *
This story is one that stands out as not just a romance, but something that is so much more. 4/5 * Genie In A Book *
I loved this book from page one. It was wonderful and funny and adorable and absolutely horrible because you knew it was going to end badly, but you didn’t want to believe it * Cassie the Weird *
The Next Together is an energetic, compelling concept well executed. Its clever and original and quite unlike anything I’ve picked up in a long while. * Imaginary Misadventure *
For those who have never read a ‘‘reincarnation romance’’ The Next Together is a perfect example. * Otago Daily Times *
The Next Together is really WOAH * The Galaxial World *
Young Adult readers will love this very different and complex tale of reincarnation. It’s jam-packed with romance, adventure, humour, danger and suspense. An excellent debut novel. * Creative Kids Tales *
I really enjoyed The Next Together and highly recommend it. * My Life in Books *
Matthew and Katherine. They were the ultimate couple! Their love of each other tied into the story perfectly and made the story end with bang. * Picnic Reads *
It is a gripping story for mature and capable readers. * Janet Croft Reviews *
The Next Together transcends the traditional boundaries of genre to give readers a unique story. I really liked it, and I’m looking forward to the sequel! * Speculating on Spec Fic *
I was turning page after page, because I wanted to know what was going to happen next, how were things going to pan out. 3.5 Stars. * Angel Reads *
A good read with a smattering of adapted history and a glimpse into a future that wasn’t too hard to recognise. * Reading Time *
I appreciated that Lauren James has intertwined the genres together making it a great book for lovers of historical, science fiction and even romance novels to enjoy. I would recommend this book to young adults from the ages of 14 years and above. * Read Plus *
