The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith is a young adult romance novel. This story centers on the complicated love story of two teenagers: Lucy and Owen. When a blackout hits New York City, Lucy and Owen, two very different strangers, get trapped in an elevator together. The two can’t get each other out of their heads, but things quickly become complicated when both teens move away.
My favorite thing about this story was how much more realistic it was than most cliché romances because there was no immediate or sure happy ending. There were definitely some novelty points, but there were also many more complex twists and turns. While it kept me engaged for the most part, this book had some duller moments in its second half that made it harder to get through than I anticipated. This book was enjoyable, and I really liked it until about halfway through.
