The Distance Between Us

I think The Distance Between Us is one of the first YA romance books that I have read. It is also the first book written by Kasie West that I have read. I immediately shared this book with my best friend, knowing that she would love it.

The Distance Between Us is sweet, filled with charming moments that captured my heart. From the first paragraph until the last sentence, I was glad that I chose to read the book.

Caymen's sarcasm is refreshing and makes one laugh when reading. She is a character who is realistic and not materialistic like most female characters tend to be. She's bright, but doesn't want to study after school, rather choosing to help her mother out in the doll store. She can sniff out a rich customer in the first few moments and doesn't want to become friends with Xander, knowing that he'll become bored with her and leave, as her mother told her.

Xander is one of my favourite book boys. He's cute and funny. He doesn't brag about how much money he has, which is good, as it is rather irritating (I know that from first-hand experience). He doesn't seem to live up to his father's expectations, which is why he and Caymen spend their Saturdays on ‘career days', to find each other's dream job. I loved his scenes with Caymen, as he seems to be somebody who understands her.

This book is meant for anybody who is looking for that sweet teenage romance book. I strongly recommend this YA novel for any reader wanting to read a light romance novel.
