I read The Three Loves of Sebastian Cooper and Five Days and loved them both. When I saw Zoë Folbigg had released another book and I read the blurb I was all “Count me in!”. This one is about love across the miles and it resonated with me because my second marriage was a long-distance relationship. Then imagine my disappointment when I found out this is a re-release of 2018’s The Distance.

This isn’t a bad book by any means but sadly for me, it didn’t work. I’m usually okay with multiple timelines in a story, it is actually my favourite format but I found this one a tad confusing to follow. I did like how the writer introduces one of the characters [SPOILER] and you have to continue reading to see where and how she fits into the main character’s world.[END SPOLIER] I also liked the way Folbigg writes her characters and the way they were brought to life. However, this is not one of my favourites by the author but she will still be an auto-buy/read for me.

Overall this was an enjoyable read and I loved finding out more about the differing cultures. It was readable but I didn’t like it quite as much as the author’s other books.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the Advance Readers Copy.
