Hadley Hoover has written an
enchanting, romantic tale of two strangers traveling across country. Miles
Apart is an interesting look at how seemingly innocuous events and meetings can
be life changing. A good reminder that first impressions, even when inaccurate,
are lasting.
The story follows Molly
Winstead and B.J. Kendall on a trip from California to Minnesota and on the
humorous, and at times aggravating development of a relationship between these
two people.
Ms. Hoover's fun characters are
likeable and entertaining. Her book reveals how important it can be to remain
mindful of what people are saying to us in ways other than verbal, and about
the importance of skills we acquire and use daily, but often take for granted.
The plot develops along a
simple path, but has many entertaining and humorous moments. A lasting message
of Hadley Hoover's first novel is that we have remarkable abilities to
compensate and adjust for our weaknesses. It's a book that will help you
appreciate the resourcefulness, unpredictability and beauty of human
relationships.
Miles Apart is a rewarding, fun
summer read.
