Book Review

Book title: 100 Sideways Miles
Author: Andrew Smith


Goodreads description:
Finn Easton sees the world through miles instead of minutes. It’s how he makes sense of the world, and how he tries to convince himself that he’s a real boy and not just a character in his father’s bestselling cult-classic book. Finn has two things going for him: his best friend, the possibly-insane-but-definitely-excellent Cade Hernandez, and Julia Bishop, the first girl he’s ever loved.

Then Julia moves away, and Finn is heartbroken. Feeling restless and trapped in the book, Finn embarks on a road trip with Cade to visit their college of choice in Oklahoma. When an unexpected accident happens and the boys become unlikely heroes, they take an eye-opening detour away from everything they thought they had planned—and learn how to write their own destiny.

So I really enjoyed this book! I feel like it really connects with some teenage emotion.  It was funny, sad, spontaneous and emotional at the same time. My favorite part has to be When Finn realizes that he finally feel in love with Julia. Finn has been through alot and as a character feels in my opinion worthless. All the characters portrayed in Smith's book are different and similar at the same time. An examle is Cade Hernandez Finn's best friend is so different from Finn. Finn is quiet and girl shy whereas Cade is loud and doesnt really care about other people's opinion.
Overall I really enjoyed this book! 
Rate: ♥♥♥♥ *4*
