A Thousand Miles by Bridget Morrissey wasn’t a book I included in my February TBR post. I have a list of audiobooks I want to listen to this month, but I didn’t want to set a firm goal regarding how many I would finish. A Thousand Miles has been on my TBR for way too long. This book was written for me, I mean a romance taking place while the two main characters are on a road trip together, adorable. A Thousand Miles was so cute and was my favorite audiobook I listened to.

Dee Matthews is the cohost of the podcast “Did I Forget To Tell You” which is primarily an interview show. She speaks with friends and family and frequently talks about her experiences, often referring to one person as “Redacted”. Redacted is known as Ben Porter, a science teacher who used to date Dee when they were in high school. While they dated, they buried a time capsule in Ben’s grandma’s backyard. Presently, Ben turns up at Dee’s door asking her to come with him on a road trip to his grandma’s house to dig up the capsule. Dee agrees to accompany him because it’s not like anything would happen between them anyway. As the miles fly by, Ben and Dee quickly reignite their chemistry from all those years ago.

The road trip aspect of the book was so fun. As someone who has driven to Colorado several times, I could easily picture where Dee and Ben would stop on their adventures. The adventures they have are over-the-top, to say the least. I found myself looking forward to the moments when I could listen to this on my commute home or when I cleaned the house. I was glad I listened to the audiobook because the narration differs from Dee’s podcast transcripts to another audiobook narrator reading Ben’s point of view. It was easier to follow along as I listened to each chapter.

Ben is the best guy. He’s a science teacher and loves baseball. He adores Dee. While Ben is laid-back, Dee is the opposite. She’s opinionated, flirty, and stubborn. Out of the two, I felt Ben was more established and Dee came off as immature. I didn’t mind that though since a core theme of the book was that Dee and Ben dated in high school. Throughout the book, I felt that Ben and Dee reuniting was meant to be.

A Thousand Miles was the road trip, baseball, rom-com I needed in a book. This was one of my favorite audiobooks I have listened to and part of me wants to buy a copy of this book to have on my bookshelf. I rated A Thousand Miles five stars on Goodreads.
