dermkat 's review for:

A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey
5.0

I requested this quite randomly because of the synopsis: two childhood best friends who hooked up at the end of high school and haven't spoken in the ten years since after their friendship fell apart embark on a road trip they promised to do 10 years after the first time. I really liked the characters of Dee and Ben, loved that we got both of their POVs, and thought that their journey together to heal their rift, catch up, and figure out how they are meant to be in each other's lives was well paced and entertaining. Dee has a podcast and Ben is a teacher, and together they randomly rescue a stray cat, whom they later sneak into a baseball game. It's an adventure and a love story that has some strong personal growth moments for both characters. I am now going to look for Morrissey's backlist, as I'm pretty sure a side character mentioned in this book is the MC of that one!
