Resumen del Editor

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 that he seems to be one of the first people who actually gets her, she's smart enough to know that 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 loyalty and attentiveness 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 she close the distance between them?

Just Ok

The Distance Between Us by Kasie West (Audiobook) 
Narrated by: Jorjeanna Marie

3 Stars - This book was ok. The heroine Caymen was interesting and her humour was a bit dry and sarcastic. Xander was an alright match for her, however I never really felt that spark between them. I have read a few of Kasie West's books and she generally writes them full of angst and wit. This one fell a bit short on the chemistry for me. 

The plot was good though and the narration was ok.

Great Love Story

A love story that you keep on loving. You will always love these characters. A true love story.

Very good read!

This book is very good! No sex, little to no foul language, and plot twists very well placed! I found myself grinning, crying, laughing, and swooning through the whole thing. I've definitely found a new favorite author! The narrator did a great job as well and her voice is so soothing. What a delight!

L O V E E E

Can't believe it's over already, this is once again an incredible book by Kasie West.

IGNORE THE BAD REVIEWSS!!!

honestly i read a lot of reviews on this book and some where really bad and FALSE. This book is really good. If you love a good rich mysterious boy who is really cute ngl and a innocent girl love story this id for you. The ending is good but some problems were kinda left not solved but overall so cuteeeeeeee.

Cute YA contemporary romance with a twist.

Series Info/Source: Stand Alone, borrowed audiobook from Audible Escapes.

Audiobook Quality (4/5): I enjoyed the narration of this audiobook a lot. They picked the perfect narrator for this, Marie sounds just like I think Caymen would. Marie also does a great job with other character voices. This was a very pleasant audiobook to listen to.

Story (4/5): The story is a pretty typical YA contemporary romance with a bit of a twist. Caymen starts to hang out with a “rich kid” who is the grandson of one of their customers but struggles with how she will fit into that “rich” world when her and her mom are so broke. There are some fun twists as the story continues and I enjoyed these little surprises, they made this romantic and entertaining story a bit more special.

Characters (5/5): The characters are what make this book. Caymen is easy to relate to; she is struggling between supporting her mom and trying to make her own way. Watching her tear herself between all her responsibilities can be tough but I loved her as a character. I also loved Xander, he was just a fun characters and so sweet. Even the side characters were really well done, from Caymen’s mom to her best friend. These are characters that were fun, easy to relate and very charming. I was a bit sad about how stubborn and selfish Caymen’s mom was about forcing her own past and believes onto Caymen.

Setting (4/5): This is in a contemporary setting in California. A lot of the story is set in Caymen’s mom’s dollstore. I enjoyed the dollstore setting it was quirky and fun and a bit creepy at times too. This unique background provided some fun and style of the story.

Writing/Drawing Style (4/5): I always love Kasie West’s writing style. It sounds natural, flows well, is easy to read, and is perfectly paced. I have no complaints, West’s writing is very easy to read and she’s a solid writer.

Summary (4/5): Overall this was a cute and entertaining YA contemporary romance that I enjoyed. It’s one of those feel good, first love types of stories. All the characters were very likable and easy to engage with. I enjoyed some of the extra little twists to the story. I would recommend if you are looking for a light and fun YA contemporary romance read.

Cute!

This book is told in the first person which always takes me awhile to get used too (okay, a few pages) but I think it gives the book more depth. Caymen's attitude about the rich comes from what her mother told her about her past. When she meets Xander though she can't stay away from him. Then one day she finally learns the truth about her moms past and is not to happy.

The narrator was enjoyable to listen to.
