Book Review: The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith

First book by Jennifer Smith and I loved it. Just loved it. Lucy and Owen are great characters and their story sort of makes me think of a younger version of Sleepless in Seattle in some ways. Even though I think it's close to impossible to meet the person you're going to spend the rest of your live with in high school. Even so, I still loved the story. It was fun, but still had some depth to it. 

Definitely a great summer/beach read!!

From the GoodReads website, "Lucy and Owen meet somewhere between the tenth and eleventh floors of a New York City apartment building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide blackout. After they're rescued, they spend a single night together, wandering the darkened streets and marveling at the rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power is restored, so is reality. Lucy soon moves to Edinburgh with her parents, while Owen heads out west with his father.

Lucy and Owen's relationship plays out across the globe as they stay in touch through postcards, occasional e-mails, and -- finally -- a reunion in the city where they first met.

A carefully charted map of a long-distance relationship, Jennifer E. Smith's new novel shows that the center of the world isn't necessarily a place. It can be a person, too."
