about book:

Dee Matthews is the cohost of the smash-hit podcast Did I Forget To Tell You? where she interviews family, friends, and past lovers. Nothing is off-limits, except for one man (known on the show only as “Name Redacted”) who happens to be her high school best friend Ben. During their senior year spring break, Dee and Ben took a road trip to visit Ben’s grandma. They buried a time capsule in her backyard, pledging to return in ten years to open it. Then their friendship fell apart in spectacular fashion. They haven’t spoken to each other since.

 

Ben Porter’s life since that moment has been unexciting but comfortable until his grandma reveals a family secret that flips his whole world upside down. Her dying wish is for him to stop taking the safe route and go after what he really wants. He starts by showing up on Dee’s doorstep with every intention of fulfilling their long-ago promise. Despite her reservations, Dee can’t say no. This trip could be her chance to give her listeners the “Name Redacted” interview they’ve been begging for—and finally, put her unresolved feelings for Ben to rest.

 

As the miles fly by, Dee and Ben's friendship reignites and so does their undeniable spark. Their last adventure ended in disaster, and they’re about to find out if their relationship can be rekindled or if it’s at the end of the road.

my thoughts:

Fun, fun, fun! What a delightful treat of a book. I just LOVED A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey. 

Ex-best friends/ex-lovers, a road trip, a time capsule, and LOVE - what more could I want in a breezy summer read? Morrissey delivered in spades. This book has such a fun and romantic feel to it - the relatable characters, the 'will they, won't they' theme, and the magic of LOVE between old friends that just sparkles off each page. A Thousand Miles is a treat to read.

I would most-definitely recommend this book to anyone and everyone looking for their next great read - check this one out ASAP!
