The Map from Here to There is an unforgettable story of identity and the companion novel to the stellar The Start of Me and You, which was a Zoella Book Club pick for WHSmith.
It's senior year, and Paige Hancock is finally living her best life. She has a fun summer job, great friends, and a super charming boyfriend who totally gets her. But senior year also means big decisions. Feeling the weight of 'the rest of her life' Paige starts to panic. Everything is exactly how she always wanted it to be - how can she leave it all behind next year? In her head, she knows there is so much more to life after high school. But in her heart, is it so terrible to want everything to stay the same forever?
Emery Lord's signature storytelling shines with lovable characters and heartfelt exploration of life's most important questions. There will be break-ups, make-ups, a road trip, and even a wedding. Through it all, can Paige figure out what happens in the after part of happily ever after?
Fans of Rainbow Rowell, Jennifer Niven and Nicola Yoon should look no further than this unforgettable story of friendship and connection.
I read The Start of Me and You and I really fell in love with Emery Lord's novel. I do remember that the story felt slightly slow, but I was hoping it wouldn't be the case with the sequel. Unfortunately, it was still slow, probably slower.
I loved being back with the cast and getting to know more about them, especially Max. I was so happy to see how many of them had so much character development throughout the story.
Paige was a character that had me on edge, at times, but I understand her anxiety was technically to blame so that helped in pushing away certain issues that came up. I'm so glad she grew throughout the story and seeing her being very mature with college and Max had me rooting for her.
I have to admit that the characters who shone bright were the secondary ones. They brought so much life and enthusiasm to the story! I'd definitely read books with them as the main characters.
Overall, The Map from Here to There was lovely, entertaining, and ultimately all about friendships and making decisions, which I thoroughly enjoyed.
