The Distance
Between Us by Kasie West is a
young adult contemporary novel. This book is about 17-year-old Caymen who has
lived in the small apartment above her mother’s porcelain doll shop her whole
life. From there she had a great view of the rich clientele, that plus her
mother’s warnings have left her with a very negative view of the wealthy. Until
Xander shows up oozing “wealth” to get his Grandmother a doll and challenges
all her beliefs on the rich.
I gave this book 4 out
of 5 stars. I really enjoyed this story. It is very different than anything I
have read before. As I expect from her works I flew through it and was on the
edge of my seat the entire time. I found the topic quite interesting, but it
isn’t really my favorite.
The characters were
very well developed and fun to follow, but I lacked the relatability. Thankfully
I was still invested in them and their story enough to stick with the story. These weren’t my favorite
characters by West, but they were still high quality and multidimensional and
flawed like I expect from her.
Overall, this was a good book, it just wasn’t one of my favorites by her.
