The Distance Between Us

by Kasie West

Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers learned early that the rich are not to be trusted. And after years of studying them from behind the cash register of her mom's porcelain doll shop, she has seen nothing to prove otherwise. Enter Xander Spence - he's tall, handsome, and oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and the fact he seems to be one of the first people who actually gets her, she's smart enough to know his interest won't last. Because if there's one thing she's learned from her mother's warnings, it's that the rich have a short attention span. But just when Xander's attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn't a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she'd ever realized. With so many obstacles standing in their way, can they close the distance to each other? A perfect mixture of bittersweet and charming, this new paperback original from house author Kasie West is an endearing romantic comedy that will steal your heart.

The Distance Between Us is, hands down, one of my favorite reads this year! The romance was sweet, charming, and down right adorable. Kasie West wrote so many amazing feel good moments, that it is hard to pick just one that stands out on its own. The characters and the story itself, was wonderfully developed and easy to relate to. If you're looking for the perfect summer book to read featuring an endearing romance, then you need look any further. This is absolutely the book that will quench all of your desires.

The witty dialouge is just as fresh and fun as the characters and their romance are. Kasie West is triple fantastic when it comes to portraying emotions and building up tension in the wonderful relationships that she creates between the characters. Cayman and Xander are absolutely brilliant, especially when it came to their sarcastic banter and pitch perfect chemistry. The slow build from friends to more, was another great element of the story. It gives off that crackling, slow-burning, smoldering affect that gets your blood pumping and your anticipation up.

The Distance Between Us will absolutely not disappoint fans of contemporary young adult. If anything, it will have them completely captivated and totally invested in the characters. So, if you're looking for a fast delightful summer read jam packed with scintilating romance, this is the perfect book for you!

Kasie West is definitely on my auto-buy author track list.
