While reading this one, it was hard to believe the same author also wrote "The Adoration of Jenna Fox". The books are worlds apart and totally different, they do not feel like they were written by the same person. That's not really a bad thing... I guess it could be, but in this situation, definitely not. It's actually pretty impressive, "Jenna Fox" was very creative and original and so was "The Miles Between". If Mary E. Pearson has anymore books out there, I will definitely read them!

"The miles between" has quite a few things a really dig in books, i.e. Road Trips, boarding schools, sheep, life lessons, and quirky characters. I expected this book to be lightweight and not too much of a thinking book and in ways I was right, but there were some deep moments and if nothing else, reflections. I love when a book has 3-4 main characters and we do not switch points-of-view. I still got to know all the passengers, but I still feel very involved with Destiny. It seems like when you have multiple characters like that, there is someone that everyone can relate to in some way... or a lot of some ones! I also have to note that some of the "wow" moments were just a littl bit to unlikely to happen, just not very realistic. The entire concept of a "fair day" kinda seems that way to me....
I feel like they were driving around in something


But to me a ROAD TRIP car should look something more
I really wish I could run up on one of these bad boys and get my hubster to paint it!!!! I do believe it would inspire some road-tripedge!!

Favorite Quotes:
"This was the best day ever", Mira says, wiggling her red platform pumps in front of her. "Seth got his dog, Aidan talked to the president, and Des finally got to say goodbye, but I think right now is the best part of the whole day." Mira's face is a picture of contentment. we are nestled together on a bed of hay, a tight circle, where secrets and distance have been patted away, no wrinkles for Mira to worry over, no innuendo, no harsh voices or tense glances to be averted. Just the Moment and her flashy platform pumps wiggling like everything is right with the world. And maybe for this one moment, it is."

"But sometimes the way life plays out is crazy too. At the very least, it defies explanation. Maybe one insanity balances out the other."

"My house. I am at my house. For the First time in nine years."

"That's a freakish coincidence."




Sidenote: I really like the cover with the girl with the Sunglasses and mine (the one with the clouds and the people standing in a circle), but Honestly I think they could have picked something a little better!
