A review by lydiahousley
The Distance Between Us by Maggie O'Farrell

3.0

This was a really quick and fun read. Some really excellent writing in there and some great characters, all of which were developed pretty convincingly. The sections of writing about Nina and Stella as kids were easily my favourite parts.

I didn't find myself sympathising with Jake much at all which left the story feeling a bit one sided for me. I also struggled to understand the motivations of the characters in the final part, their actions seemed very contrary and didn't feel convincing for me. Nonetheless enjoyed reading it.
