Cohen Rodriguez, Deo’s hilarious and loyal best friend in LENGTHS, has always been über responsible. He’s kept a steady job, is a generally nice guy, and has had the same steady girlfriend for years. But when she breaks up with him because he's 'not impulsive enough,' Cohen's burned up.
But, just maybe, she’s more right than he wants to admit.
So he starts to date.
A lot.
And he meets some really fun, crazy, smart, weird girls. But no one really feels like the one, and the more girls he dates, the more Cohen’s convinced she isn’t really out there.
Luckily he has Maren— the girl with the sexy voice who always cracks the best jokes, and who Cohen can talk to about anything, even all of his recent dating mishaps. They've been talking daily for a year…on the phone. They talk about orders for work at first, but eventually Cohen finds out that Maren loves baseball and Thai food and she loves going to the beach in the winter and sketching. He looks forward to his talks with Maren, because, like everything else in his life, they’re safe.
Then she asks him.
Do you want to meet?
It's one thing to chat for an hour or two every day. Meeting face to face could ruin the one and only stable, fun woman in his life.
Or it could be the best thing that's ever happened to him.
Cohen has to decide if he's ready to let go of his comfortable fantasy and embrace the girl who can change his luck in love.

And! If you haven't read the first installment of the LENGTHS series,
Nineteen-year-old Whit Conrad leaves her conservative Pennsylvania home for sunny California, looking for independence, a fresh start, and a place to stash her grief. She promptly finds a job at a tattoo parlor, a craptastic first apartment, and one friend—Ryan—who is a little less friend, a little more benefits.
Deo Beckett is a soulful surfer with a passion for tattoos and beautiful women. On the eve of his twenty-second birthday, he finds himself living with his grandfather, recently unemployed, and seriously adrift. He doesn’t know much about what he wants out of life, but he does know his current situation isn't cutting it.
When Deo meets Whit, she’s all sexy makeup and fierce, smart-ass fun. It doesn’t take him long to see past her tough shell. And when he gets a good look at what's under all the superficial stuff that usually gets his attention, it leaves Deo wondering if there might be more to life than living fast and free.
Too bad Whit has a past she doesn't plan on sharing—no matter how hot Deo is. She might want him, but she knows better than to let her guard down.
Deo falls for Whit, and falls hard. But everything about her, down to that mysterious tattoo and the way she thrashes in her sleep, tells him that the girl he loves is hiding something. And the more he pushes for answers, the more Whit pulls away.
Having your guard up is one thing, but are the lengths Whit goes to to protect her secret worth throwing away the second chance she has at happiness with Deo?
My Review
5 of 5 Lengths
First I have to say that I am so sorry for getting this review out so late. I read the book in one night and did not get a chance to write the review because life happened. Anyone who has children knows what that is like so I am catching up on my reviews.
Liz and Steph I have to say that Lengths was totally EPIC for me! I just could not put it down and I was so excited to read it. I just have to say to you guys I NEED more! The NA New Adult genre is taking young adults by storm and this is one of those books that will stay with people long after they have read it. This is such a compelling and heart wrenching story that it grips you right from the beginning and does not disappoint.
Lengths is a story of love, trust and redemption. Wit Conrad moved from PA to CA to start over. She needs a new life because something tragic has happened to her and her family and she needs to get away. She just wants to start a new life where she can be anyone she wants to be and do whatever she wants to do. She goes to CA and gets a friend with benefits and gets a job at a tattoo parlor and she goes to college full time in the morning. Who would not want this life you say, well Wit is exactly looking for this life but it is complication free and she does not have to think about anything or feel anything. That is until she meets Deo Beckett.
Deo Beckett is a twenty two year old guy who loves to surf and loves tattoo's and hanging out with his best friend. He has no job and lives with his grandfather and has no idea what he wants to do in life. As Wit Deo is harboring a lot of anger towards someone very special in his life and he has no idea how to handle it. He helps his grandfather out and he helps his mother with her store but Deo is missing something and he is not sure what it is. That is until he meets Wit.
Deo and Wit will have to face the demons of their past in order to move on and become what they need to be. They will have highs and lows but when the dust settles and the clouds become sun shine they will have the most amazing life they were meant to have. This is a story about love and loss and how to find redemption and pick up the pieces of your life. Love does heal all wounds and Deo and Wit will have to find that love and open up in order to survive.
