Hello Everyone,
Somehow I ended up with a copy of a Kasie West young adult novel, and thought I’d give it a try. Someone once said she is a good author for clean romance books for middle grades and high school. So, my review is below, which I originally posted on Goodreads.
The Distance Between Us by Kasie West
Caymen is seventeen with a dry sense of humor, helps her mom run a doll shop, and has the rich customers completely figured out. Until Xander walks in, beckoning her to help him pick out a doll for his cousin. They strike up a friendship on the basis of figuring out what the other is suited to do in life through “Career Days.” Caymen doesn’t tell her mom about Xander, since she was dumped by Caymen’s dad, a rich boy whose family paid for her to disappear with the baby. Some serious events reveal Caymen’s past and help decide her future.
Note: There’s a little language and kissing, nothing beyond the PG rating I’d think. Overall, an interesting read about finding oneself and the importance of family. It would most likely be fine for the majority of middle school students and up.
