Recent Read: The Myth of You and Me

So, I was shelving at work the other day when I stumbled upon a really interesting-looking book. Since I didn’t have anything to read that day, I checked it out and zipped through it that night. For some reason, I found it really moving–it’s the type of novel I’d like to own. Written by Leah Stewart, The Myth of You and Me chronicles the story of Cameron and Sonia, childhood best friends who no longer speak. Though Cameron has lost interest in the friendship, Sonia unexpectedly reaches out to her one day, causing Cameron to reflect on their past. She has no intention of reviving their relationship, but her nonagenarian boss forces her to seek out Sonia in order to deliver a mysterious package. As Cameron travels the country searching for Sonia, the reader is welcomed into their world; devouring each snippet of their friendship as it unfolds, you are left wondering what could possibly have driven these two women apart. Though the answer turns out to be a bit of a cliche, the lyrical prose, fascinating relationships, and compelling characters make the story worthwhile.
