A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey
3.0
On today's episode of "I really, really wanted to love this book, but...": A second-chance-romance trope and a red-head, tattooed, bi/pan podcaster: I was here for all that, yet... something felt off.
Dee and Ben's thoughts/reflections felt more appropriate for people in their 50s than their late 20s. What's up with the ongoing (over)analyzing everything? Abstracting everything?
Ben's family secret is an underlining theme throughout the book, but somehow how Ben dealt (or rather did not deal) with it came across as cold.
Some other pieces do not quite go together. The book feels a bit like a bunch of puzzle
