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.
Quick thoughts: Who would've thought that I might like a book based on the romance? HAHA. Definitely not me. But there it is. It happened. The Distance Between Us has such a cheesy cover that unabashedly screams romance, such that I would never have chosen this book for myself. Nonetheless, I read it because of a recommendation that I wasn't inclined to deny. I loved Caymen (yes, that's her name) for her wit and her extreme fluency in sarcasm. It's no wonder I laughed a lot as a result. Even better, I didn't roll my eyes a single time. That's saying something, coming from me. I honestly enjoyed the romance of this one.
