3.5

I was trying to decide whether to rate it up or down, but the ending was sweet. ( )

I received an ARC ebook from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

Good—3.50 out of 5 stars.

A good light-reading romance with a not-so-original premise. Nevertheless, the novel is well written, and it kept my attention, even with the predictable plot.

Overall, good emotions and tasteful.

This book has left me without the ability to express how much I enjoyed this book. So below I'm just going to list a few of the things that I loved.



Those are just some things that made this book awesome for me. A Million Miles away will break your heart, and mend it along the way. ( )

This has to be one of the most predictable books that I have ever read. When I read the blurb for a book, I usually make some kind of guess about where I think the story will eventually go. I like it when my guess is completely wrong because that means the book took a lot of unexpected twists and turns. I like twists and turns. I also like it when my guess is kind of right and the story ends how I thought it would but the way it happened was completely different than anything I could have imagined.

This book told the exact story that I had guessed it would. After finishing the book, I decided to a very small survey. I had my 14 year old daughter read the blurb and asked her how she thought the story would end and she nailed it. I then decided to really shake things up so I asked my husband the same thing. My husband NEVER picks up a book and is probably the exact opposite of the target audience and you know what...he knew how this book would end too. I need a little bit of unexpected to fully enjoy a story.

I didn't hate the book but I don't feel like I gained anything by reading it. I really didn't feel anything for any of the characters and found every single one of the be rather flat. There was never any kind of stand out moment in the book that hit me emotionally. This is the kind of book that I will most likely forget about before too long. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this book to other readers.

I received an advance reader edition of this book from Little, Brown Books for Young Readers - Poppy via NetGalley for the purpose of providing an honest review. ( )

Kelsey and Michelle are 17-year-old identical twins. Kelsey wants to be a dancer at KU, while Michelle wants to be a Parisian artist, but the day Michelle is killed in a car accident all Kelsey wants is to have her sister be alive again.

In the midst of her grief Peter, Michelle’s boyfriend stationed in Afghanistan, comes into the picture. He doesn’t know Michelle is dead, and Kelsey can’t bring herself to tell him.
