Thank you to Berkley Publishing Group and NetGalley for allowing me to read this book as an ARC. The opinions expressed in my review are entirely my own.
A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey was such a fun read. It reminded me a bit of People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry because of the travel element and the banter between the main characters.
Dee was such an interesting protagonist because she wasn’t afraid to say exactly what she was thinking, and I admired her boldness and bravery in situations.
Ben was such a sweetheart, and I loved how well he balanced Dee’s personality.
The podcast element of this story was interesting, but I had a hard time understanding how someone could be so comfortable sharing such intimate details with everyone. I think it was mostly a good aspect of the story, but I think Dee took things too far at times.
The added storyline with Ben’s past was okay, but I don’t feel like it was necessary or completely developed.
I loved Abe the cat and was very invested in his storyline.
Overall, I would recommend this book if you’re looking to read something that is mostly lighthearted and sprinkled throughout with humor.
