After I read and reviewed On the Fence everyone was recommending me the author's other contemporary, The Distance Between Us. I know by now it's near impossible to be disappointed in a Kasie West book so I dove in wholeheartedly, and I was not let down. 
 The Distance Between Us is a quick read. Its 300 pages felt like nothing, I could definitely read another book about Caymen. This might be why I thought the ending was a bit abrupt, I turned the last page expecting there was more and was kind of shocked to find there wasn't. It isn't entirely an open ending, but I found myself wanting a bit more explanation on a few things. 
 "Does this scare you?" 
 "More than anything." 
 "Why?" 
 "Because I'm afraid that once you catch me, the game's over." 
 These two, I swear. It's not often that I ship a couple as much as I did Xander and Caymen. Every time they had a scene together I was glued to the pages, eager to see how their relationship would develop. They work so well together, listening and supporting each other despite their differences. So, the romance? I loved it. 
 The other characters are great as well, there is a really diverse cast and each one of them was different yet fully fleshed out. Some interesting family relationships are at play here too, as well as friendships. I like how this book explored all the connections, not just the romantic ones. 
 A random side note that has no significance to the actual story, but doesn't it seem like the cover almost depicts the opposite of the book synopsis? Like Caymen is the rich one and Xander is the poor one? Anyway. 
 This is a contemporary I can see myself going back to and reread when I'm in need of a little cuteness and fluff. Definitely recommended.
