Alice may be bed-bound, but every day Stream Cast brings the world to her. From the streets of Tokyo to a masterclass in video games, she experiences other people’s wild and exciting lives all without ever leaving her room.
But everything changes when Alice is introduced to a new streamer.
Rowan encourages Alice to stop watching, and start taking control. But Rowan has a secret he’s trying to hide from Alice – and from himself.
As Alice and Rowan build a bigger and more beautiful world together, their secrets threaten to tear them apart. Would you risk everything for love?
Every so often I like to pick up a book that is more suitable for younger ages, mainly to satisfy my curiosity about how books have changed with the times and see what is new for the young people of today.
From the first page to the last I was hooked, it’s a cliché but I genuinely could not put this marvellous book down.
During these times where we have all been locked away from our friends like Alice, many of us have used technology for socialising. However, unlike most of us, Alice is bed bound all of the time.
Do you ever wonder what that is like? Sarah Ann Juckes writes a beautiful story of Alice, her friends and of course, her first love.
The world between us is aimed at readers aged 12-17, however I am in my late 20s and I still enjoyed it. I found it to be a lovely smooth read with short chapters which is ideal if you only want to read little and often.
I would recommend The World Between Us to fans of All the Bright Places and the fault in our stars.
