Ilustration In Favor Of Books Across the Distance
There’s a drawer I never open. It holds a picture I never look at. It reminds me of a day I hate to remember, but I’ll never forget.I’d give anything to be like the other girls on campus. Going to parties, flirting with boys, planning for a future. But that’s not me. And hasn’t been since the day my parents died. The only thing that got me through was Griffin. Even though I didn’t have my family, I always had him. Only, now I’m not so sure I do.
It’s not just the eleven hundred miles separating us now that I’m at college. And it’s more than his band finally taking off, and all the gigs and girls suddenly demanding his time. It’s like everything is different—the way we talk, the way we text . . . the way he looks at me and the way his looks make me feel.
Griffin has been the only good thing in my life since that horrific day. I can feel our friendship slipping away—and I’m terrified of what will be left in its place…

A story of best friends to lovers, which is full of angst, heartache, emotion and is certainly a tear jerker too.Jillian is still dealing with the loss of her parent 13 years ago. They died in the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York and she blames herself for their deaths. Griffin is her best friend and they have been that way since they were very young. He always vowed to protect her and be there for her 'forever'.I don't usually like stories that deal with real life events such as this,Every now and then (too rarely, I might add), you come across a story that grabs hold of you from page one and doesn't let go until you reach the end laughing and crying, all at the same time. ACROSS THE DISTANCE is one of those rare gems. Thanks, Marie.

The fact that I haven't written a review yet for Across the Distance when it's been released in TWO DAYS should give you an idea of how crazy my life has been over the last year. So, back in 2013, I agreed to be a mentor in a contest, called Pitch Wars, that the fabulous Brenda Drake hosts every year. The premise behind Pitch Wars is that authors submit unagented and unpublished works for a chance to work with a mentor who is usually an agented and/or published author or someone connected to the
Friends-to-lovers is one of my favorite romance tropes, and Jillian and Griffin's story did not disappoint. I love that Marie Meyer gave us a "good guy" rock star hero and a heroine with her own wants and interests. Issues of mental health were handled with care and grounded in reality. Overall, a sweet love story with just enough heat. Can't wait to read book two and see how the story unfolds from Griffin's point of view.*I received an eARC from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
This debut offering from Marie Meyer is surprisingly well-crafted with solid voices, issues and a nice balance that displays some angst without huge dollops of drama. Across the Distance is about surviving loss and change only to realize that sometimes the friend who was there in the hard times is JUST what you need for now. Jillian and Griffin have been friends for years: snippets of their lives as children are sprinkled through the story. Now, Jill is away at university and Griffs band is
