This sounds like a beautiful summer read, and Caymen sounds like just my kind of character with her dry sense of humour. I'm glad, too, that there isn't drama when it comes to the romance aspect. I'll definitely have to try and read this one soon. Fab review, Jenny! :)<br /><br />Aa'Ishah @ <a href="http://readingunderthestars.blogspot.co.uk/" rel="nofollow">Reading Under the Stars</a>Aa'Ishahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06034750057312410821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-90890000399304516202013-07-24T12:52:49.480-04:002013-07-24T12:52:49.480-04:00I am so incredibly excited to read this, because I...I am so incredibly excited to read this, because I have a sarcastic streak and know I'm going to LOVE Caymen. Plus, I adored Pivot Point and really love Kasie's writing style. I know well the impulse to snarl at anyone who tries to come between me and her book. :-) So incredibly happy to hear that you had fun with this, I'm sure now more than ever that I'm going to love it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-7943904384641678132013-07-24T00:33:14.132-04:002013-07-24T00:33:14.132-04:00I totally avoided this one because I was afraid th...I totally avoided this one because I was afraid there was no HEA. Honestly these kinds of books should just say Contemporary romance with an HEA. A lot more of us would willingly sink our money into them. I just can't stand not to have an HEA right now. Maybe they should have an HEA section in the YA section for those of us that don't like to worry about it. I don't care how much drama my characters have to go through (as long as it's believable) if they just get to be together at the end!<br /><br />Can you just field all the names of the HEA romances, the titles to me??<br /><br />HeatherBURIED IN BOOKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205451716054533728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-28258712372495333402013-07-23T15:24:30.271-04:002013-07-23T15:24:30.271-04:00I feel like such a loser for being the ONLY person...I feel like such a loser for being the ONLY person in the WORLD who didn't love this book.

I think...I absolutely gobbled this one down, Jenny. I think I read it in one day. I think the lack of a love triangle was a tease. She knew what we were thinking and she wanted us to go be thinking "Nooooo!" and then she'd yank the story back, all, "Just kidding!" Cue evil laughter. <br /><br />One thing about The Distance Between Us that didn't satisfy me was the end. I mean, yes, romance is nicely resolved, but the situation with Caymen, her mother and her grandparents was kind of glossed over with a "Now we're all the best of friends" kind of feeling. <br /><br />Rubitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14929614007516530129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6907235505822471522.post-85967584825972381722013-07-23T10:57:41.558-04:002013-07-23T10:57:41.558-04:00Yes, Jenny!

The only slight issue I had with it was the ending (it felt a little rushed to me), and I do agree that a few things could have been further explored. But other than that, this was a lot of fun.

My review ran into yours on the street, promptly developed an inferiority complex and ran to wallow in shame and self-pity.<br />I think we felt pretty much the same way about all of this, especially Caymen, and I'm just a bit surprised that West managed to turn what's essentially a pile of tropes into an intriguing and mostly memorable read.
