In a surprising twist of events, I managed to complete March’s LDR Book Club book of the month on time! However, what I wasn’t expecting was the lack of long distance relationship aspects included in this book. I’ll explain why later in this post. Let’s get into it. What Light by Jay Asher is aRead More
The LDR Book Club: The Wedding Date
Hello, there everyone. It’s taken me a touch (okay – way longer) than expected to finally sit and be able to write this review. I apparently had far more time than expected during my winter break from school, but now that my final semester is in full swing I have been mentally exhausted far moreRead More
The LDR Book Club: The Man I Never Met
When I first started the LDR Book Club, I was delighted at the possibility of reading books around long distance relationships. I wanted to share in the experience and see such a difficult topic in literary fiction instead of relying on the large number of non-fiction that’s on the market. While reading these books, IRead More
A Relationship at Sea – The End of the First Chapter
After nearly 150 days – almost 5 months later exactly, this chapter is finally over with. It has quite possibly been the longest five months I have ever experienced, and I am so beyond relieved that it’s over. Surprisingly there’s an almost sadness that comes with it beneath all of the excitement of finally beingRead More

I don’t know what it is or what exactly happened, but just entering month four it felt like there was an immediate shift. For the first time in literally months, things feel like where they first started – scary, but with the promise that everything would be fine. And things have been fine. Back inRead More
Lighting Strikes Twice – a Return to Maryland
There’s always a very particular sort of ache that comes from being long distance and going through the holidays. Even though we don’t really celebrate Thanksgiving at home, it felt as though I should have had Lucas with me for the day. At the very least, the holiday meant that I could get away withRead More
Together Again in Charm City – a Visit in Baltimore
If there’s one thing I know without a shadow of a doubt, it’s that being in a long distance relationship makes you do crazy things. You have to be shoved entirely out of your comfort zone sometimes to make things work, and when the opportunity to see each other comes up, you don’t pass itRead More
