Editoral Review
Never Too Far by Abbi Glines is a stunning romance novel that was first published on February 25, 2013. Glines is a vastly popular author known for her captivating stories that force readers to fall in love while questioning life’s deep truths.
In this book, she has delivered another enthralling story set in the captivating South. The book is suitable for any reader seeking an escape from reality, and it could be categorized as a new adult romance novel within its genre.
The novel’s story revolves around Blaire Wynn, a young girl who is still struggling to come to terms with her mother’s death. She finds solace in the arms of a charming man named Rush Finlay, who happens to be the son of a famous rock star.
The first book, Fallen Too Far, left readers wanting more and Never Too Far, takes up right where it left off. In this novel, Blaire and Rush must navigate the ups and downs of both their personal and professional lives as they try to find a way to be together.
Glines has masterfully woven a compelling tale that features well-rounded, relatable, and intriguing characters. Blaire, the protagonist, is a strong, independent woman who has had to grow up early in life.
Rush, on the other hand, is the quintessential playboy, with a tragic past that he struggles to come to terms with. Nevertheless, he proves his love and loyalty to Blaire in a way that will leave readers swooning.
The story is set in Rosemary Beach, Florida, and Glines does a wonderful job of vividly describing the setting, providing readers with a vivid backdrop for the story’s unfolding. The novel is excellently crafted, with well-paced out dips and crests that keep readers’ attention throughout the story.
Glines effectively explores the themes of love, loss, redemption, and self-discovery, which makes for a compelling read. Despite some predictable aspects, the book’s storyline is, as a whole, captivating.
Though the book has many strengths, it does have a few weaknesses. One of the main drawbacks is the lack of diversity in the characters.
The setting and characters feel generally homogeneous, perhaps as a result of Abbi Glines’ own experiences living in the South. Another potential weakness is the predictability of some of the plot elements, which can make the story feel somewhat formulaic.
Overall, we highly recommend Never Too Far to readers looking for an engaging and well-written romance novel. Abbi Glines has crafted another masterpiece that is sure to entertain and intrigue readers.
The book receives a rating of 4.0 out of 5.0.
