This week I chose...
Title: The Distance Between UsAuthor: Kasie West
Release Date: July 2, 2013
Summary from Goodreads:
Seventeen-year-old Caymen Meyers studies the rich like her own personal science experiment, and after years of observation she’s pretty sure they’re only good for one thing—spending money on useless stuff, like the porcelain dolls in her mother’s shop.
So when Xander Spence walks into the store to pick up a doll for his grandmother, it only takes one glance for Caymen to figure out he’s oozing rich. Despite his charming ways and that he’s one of the first people who actually gets her, she’s smart enough to know his interest won’t last. Because if there’s one thing she’s learned from her mother’s warnings, it’s that the rich have a short attention span. But Xander keeps coming around, despite her best efforts to scare him off. And much to her dismay, she's beginning to enjoy his company.
She knows her mom can’t find out—she wouldn’t approve. She’d much rather Caymen hang out with the local rocker who hasn’t been raised by money. But just when Xander’s attention and loyalty are about to convince Caymen that being rich isn’t a character flaw, she finds out that money is a much bigger part of their relationship than she’d ever realized. And that Xander’s not the only one she should’ve been worried about.

The fact that Kasie West wrote this is reason enough to be excited for it but as you know I love contemporary and this one sounds particularly intriguing. And the cover is gorgeous!
What are you waiting on?
I've seen a lot of people very eager for this one. It's not my genre but it still does look interesting. Great pick

ReplyDeleteOoh mah gerd. I need this one.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a Kasie West yet, but I have a lot of friends who loved Pivot Point. This one interests me more than that one, so I might pick this one up if I ever get caught up!
