Waiting on Wednesday #39


Hosted over at Breaking the Spine

Title: The Distance Between Us
Author: Kasie West
Publication date: July 2, 2013
Publisher: Harper Teen
Synopsis:
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.

Why am I excited?
Would it be terrible of me to say that I fell in love with that cover? That (gorgeous) cover definitely what drew me in, but the synopsis is what made me add this to my TBR list. It just sounds like a great YA book that's not cheesy or overused.

  1. I was pulled in by the cover first too, but then the synopsis sealed the deal. I added it to my TBR list the other day, and I'm really looking forward to it. :)
