![]() My favorite secondary character is definitely Iona! Or, I-don't-want-to-know-ya Iona as Corrinne would call her. This summer though, is her chance to be a teenager and have a memorable time. Her home life is anything but perfect, she's mature beyond her years and used to being the responsible one. ![]() ![]() She makes all the touristy mistakes and does a great job being adorable. Kitsy is in New York for a summer art program. ![]() I didn't couldn't put this one down once I started it! I haven't yet read Where I Belong, but after A Long Way from You I definitely plan on it. Gwendolyn also wrote Where I Belong about Corrinne (Kitsy's best friend) and in this companion to Where I Belong the reader is introduced to Kitsy's story. Gwendolyn Heasley does a fantastic job creating a character that defies the rules of Upper East Side popularity and still comes up on top. Normally when I read Young Adult Contemporary books I look for a bit of romance, but in A Long Way from You Kitsy was all I needed there are guys and plenty of sweet moments but Kitsy is definitely the star. Kitsy Kidd is adorable! Throughout the book I pictured her as a young Reese Witherspoon (from Sweet Home Alabama) with a cute Texas accent and fun style. ![]()
