How long from here to there

A beautiful tale of coming to terms with individuality, anxiety, substantiality of existence and the crucial impact of earnest company in life altering decisions.

Jan 12, K. Trigger warnings: car accident, anxiety, death of a loved one in the past. If I had to describe this book in one word, it would be "bittersweet". I LOVE the first book in this series, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one, even though it wasn't quite what I would have wanted a sequel to be.

It's essentially a book about senior year and all the decisions that go along with that. It's a book about changing friendships, changing relationships, changing family situations, and the fact that all three of Trigger warnings: car accident, anxiety, death of a loved one in the past.

It's a book about changing friendships, changing relationships, changing family situations, and the fact that all three of them require work.

I love Paige as a protagonist and I love Emery Lord's writing.

This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I was so happy with how things ended with Paige and Max I was terrified where it would go. That being said it is safe to say that Th This review was originally posted on Andi's ABCs I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. The Map from Here to There was a tough read for me. Paige was driving me a crazy for a lot of the book because she refused to talk to people.

But the more I read the more I understood where she was coming from and what she was feeling. Things are going to change no matter what and you have to come to terms with that. You have to make a decision that could effect the rest of your life and that is no easy task. So as much as she was bugging me, I also related to her. And then there was Max. He was confused by everything going on with him and Paige, about picking a college, of building a relationship he thought he had let go of.

Everything about these two was emotional and messy and honestly I think the beauty of Paige and Max was how messy things got and how wonderful they both were. What started out as a tough read admittedly out of my own fear because this gorgeous story of two young people just trying to find their way under all kinds of pressure from everything around them.

Will you need tissues reading this one? Is it worth the ugly crying? Jun 10, A. I received an ARC of this book, and I read it not realizing it was a sequel. Man, was it good!

I am in shambles right now trying to piece together my thoughts. Or possibly reread and begged for a sequel. Paige felt she was ready to take on senior year after spending the previous year re-introducing herself to high school society and with an amazing summer under her belt. She was ready for anything, or so she thought. As senior year began to unfold, she was faced with major decisions, evolving relationships, and suddenly, her future didn't seem so clear cut any longer.

I will start by saying, this was not what I had anticipated. I just recently read The Start of Me and You, and had expected this b Paige felt she was ready to take on senior year after spending the previous year re-introducing herself to high school society and with an amazing summer under her belt. It seems that Paige's journey wasn't finished, and I was perfectly ok with that, because this was utterly beautiful story of beginnings and endings and everything in-between.

Senior year can often be a crossroads year for many, and I think Lord captured that quite well. A big issue facing Paige was being separated from her loved ones, her family, her support system.

All her friends seemed to be going in different directions for school, as well as her boyfriend, Max, and her interests were in universities on the coasts. Her struggle and anxiety with this was understandable and conveyed so well. As much as I had hoped for this to be a gooey romance, I loved that Lord focused on friendship, especially the strong female friendship which existed between Paige and her three besties.

Not only was Paige experiencing some reservations about her future plans, which were morphing, but so were those of her friends, and this caused a bit of a change in their dynamic, though, the friendship still remained strong. The conscience effort they made to nurture their relationship during this tumultuous time period gave me hope that they would be ok, should they be geographically separated. We also saw the reemergence of Paige's anxiety.

As with the previous book, Lord depicted mental health issues in a real and sensitive way. I spent many years in treatment for anxiety, and I always appreciate when it is handled well. I don't know if I should be surprised or not, because Lord never fails to make me feel, but this book hit me harder than I thought it would.

I am over here, tears running down my cheeks, as I write this review, because I just have so many emotions about this story. It wasn't tragic, but endings of any sort seem to evoke such a strong response from me. It's quite a testament to Lord's skills, that I am sitting here, reliving the emotions of this book, one week later, and still shedding tears.

Paige's journey was not an easy one, but I do think it was well worth the trip. Paige Hancock's world fell apart after her boyfriend Aaron drowned in a tragic accident, her steadfast friends were there to support her through the trauma and anxiety, including Max, Paige's friend and now boyfriend.

Paige and Max have just spent the last few months apart, Paige exploring New York City and her dream of one day becoming a screen writer, while Max has been holidaying in Italy. Reuniting before embarking on their final year of school and together with their group of friends, their Paige Hancock's world fell apart after her boyfriend Aaron drowned in a tragic accident, her steadfast friends were there to support her through the trauma and anxiety, including Max, Paige's friend and now boyfriend.

Reuniting before embarking on their final year of school and together with their group of friends, their final year before scattering across the country for collage. Paige is a planner, she likes to know where she's going before she begins her journey, to schedule her time and organise her life in an orderly manner, so collage applications are especially stressful, the fear of the unknown.

Beneath Paige's anxiety is a brave and fiercely determined young woman wanting to pursue her dreams of becoming a screenwriter, although lately she isn't so sure. The eldest daughter of her journalist father and mother, her parents understand the pressure Paige places upon herself and remind her of the importance of caring for herself, even if Paige herself doesn't quite realise how debilitating her anxiety is becoming. Her parents are in a precarious situation, separated but continue to date one another, her mother placing stability and the emotional welfare of Paige and her younger sister before her own needs.

Their family unit might be a little unconventional but it works, the Hancock girls giving their blessing for their parents to remarry again.

In her final year, Paige is determined to shake things up, on the cusp of adulthood, deciding on colleges, careers and finding her feet as Paige, not as Max and Paige.

Throwing away her planner to become carefree and spontaneous, creating a final year bucket list of all the cheesy and typical teen experiences before college. Paige is a wonderful character as an individual but she seemingly lost her sense of identity within her relationship with Max.

Although Max is supportive, Paige needed to be challenged and trusted, Max all but accusing Paige of being unfaithful for spending time with the delightful Hunter Chan, workmate and friend. A double standard considering how often Max speaks to Tessa, Paige's best friend. I didn't dislike Max, I just didn't like who Paige was in her relationship with him. Paige and Max seemed entirely too serious for two teens on the cusp of adulthood.

I appreciated that Paige wanted to spread her wings and shake up her routine, Many young adults will relate to the pressure she places upon herself and the daily struggle of balancing her education, life, family, friendships and also working part time.

There's something just so incredibly lovely and gentle about an Emery Lord novel and although I didn't love it as much as The Start of Me and You, still a wonderful, feel great read. It was definitely such an addicting read and solid story from Emery Lord, but I experienced such as disconnect from Paige and I was expecting more from her relationship with Max.

Please continue to give me all the hot chocolate and reading dates at Alcott's though. Jan 17, Kari rated it liked it. I liked seeing these characters I grew to love again. Unfortunately, the plot didn't really do much for me.

Or the lack thereof. Paige annoyed me in this one. Driving distance: 0. You can share or return to this by using the link below. Login Username: Password: Join.

You are in NYC and don't know what is the precise distance and your friend who you're talking to is aware.

You want to ask them. You would probably ask:. I guess the bold part is redundant and whereas you are indicating Texas by the pronoun "it", the part "to there" can be omitted without any change in meaning.

But My question is that if I guess right and then if saying the sentence in the way it is without removing "to there" would be considered a mistake or not?

Dummy pronoun A dummy pronoun, also called an expletive pronoun or pleonastic pronoun, is a pronoun used for syntax without explicit meaning. You ask whether "to there" is required or alternatively, whether it is a mistake in the question:. If you consider "it" to be a dummy pronoun , then you need "to there" for the question to make sense. If you consider "it" to be a referential pronoun referring to the destination , then you should exclude "to there" to avoid clumsy redundancy.
