The Distance Between Us - Kasie West

"Caymen?"

"Yes?"

"You look terrified. Does this scare you?"

"More than anything."

"Why?"

"Because I didn't bring my mints."

"And now the real answer..."

"Because I'm afraid that once you catch me, the game's over."

Summary: Rich people are everything that Caymen Meyers hates but what happens when one walks into her life and changes everything?

This book was adorable! It was so enjoyable that I would read like 90-100 pages in one sitting and not even realize that I just read that much until I finally took a break. It was a very light, easy read. At first I was a little put off by Caymen. I get told that I'm sarcastic but wow Caymen is sarcastic! I ended up loving her personality though and it made for some great moments. And then there's Alexander "Xander" Spence. *sigh* He is the sweetest and I love him SO much! Have you watched One Tree Hill? The whole time I was reading the book, I was picturing Xander as Nathan Scott (played by James Lafferty). One of the moments I really liked was when Zander found out that Caymen thought he had a girlfriend. I loved how he got mad because up until that point, I couldn't tell what was going to happen. And then the kitchen scene towards the end after Caymen and her friend Skye TP'd his house...so good ;) And I love how Xander would take a sip of any of her drink before he gave it to her! If anyone read my Pivot Point review then you know I love Kasie West! While this isn't my favorite (let's face it, Pivot Point is just one of the best books ever), it's still one of my favorites and I can't wait to read more from Kasie West in the future!

Pivot Point - Kasie West

"It was hard when I knew I was about to be flooded with memories of a life I hadn't lived yet. Really, two lives I hadn't lived yet."

Summary: When Addie is faced with a choice, she can look into the future and see two possible outcomes. She is a Searcher and lives at the Compound with other people who also have special abilities. When her parents decide to get a divorce, Addie is asked to choose which parent to live with. To make the decision, Addie will search six weeks into the future. Both paths show that she will experience loss of some sort, so it comes down to which future she can live with the most.

I LOVE THIS BOOK SO MUCH THAT I COULD CRY. In fact, I did cry last night as I finished it. I loved everything about this book. I love how unique the storyline is. I love Addie and Laila's friendship. I love Addie's attitude. I love Duke (I also hate him though). I LOVE TREVOR. Oh my gosh, Trevor is so perfect! At first I was Team Duke but then I found out some stuff about him and I was like "I'm going to Team Trevor now." When Addie brought Trevor a heating pad for his hurt shoulder, I DIED. That whole bedroom scene was the BEST. I'm glad I ended up liking Trevor. When I first met him, he was wearing a jean jacket and cowboy boots and I was like "Uh. NO." The ending to this book was so so so sad! I don't want to spoil anything but seriously GO READ THIS BOOK. It's officially my second favorite book I've read this year. And I just saw that there's going to be a sequel which I'm honestly a little concerned about because my expectations are set really high but I can't wait to read it!
