A Thousand Miles
by Bridget Morrissey
Dee and Ben were best friends, until after a roadtrip their senior year of high school to Ben’s Grandma’s house ended in them sleeping together, which led to a huge fight. 10 years later, they haven’t spoken since that fight, until Ben shows up at Dee’s door one night. He is there because they promised to take that roadtrip again in 10 years, and since his Grandma has recently passed away, he needs to go to take care of her house. Dee agrees and the two of them undertake 1,000 miles on the road together, reliving old memories, creating new ones, and finding they still have feelings for each other.
This book really had me feeling all the things, I laughed, I got emotional, I wanted to punch the main characters for being so dumb…truly, the full spectrum of emotions. I loved the transcriptions of Dee’s podcasts - they were hilarious. Another highlight was Abe the kitten and his antics. I love a good second-chance romance and the road trip aspect was a fun twist. From the beginning, I adored Ben. He was so sweet and caring and an all-around great person. Dee, on the other hand, definitely had a lot of growing to do. While she was hilarious, she hid her pain behind her humor and that definitely caused some problems in her life. By the end, however, she showed tremendous growth and I really loved her and Ben together.
A huge thank you to Berkley Publishing for the advance copy.
