SPOILER FREE REVIEW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-K6on...3.75*This book was basically just what I needed: a mindless, cute, fun romance that was just really easy to read. I see my reading slump coming to an end very very soon.

"A blackout in New York City brings together two teenagers in Jennifer E. Smith's new romantic YA novel."Let me tell you one thing, in my opinion Jennifer E. Smith is one of the best YA authors ever (+1 for the fact that she is a nerdfighter). Her books are just awesomesauce and they may not float everyone's boat but hell to the YES they make me feel all fluffy inside so long story short: I CAN'T WAIT TO READ THIS BOOK!

3.5 starsSuper cute as expected. Jennifer E. Smith has given us another sigh-inducing, feel-good read that leaves you with a smile on your face. I adore these books of hers and each one is like a little escape into a fairy-tale kind of perfect romance story. While The Geography of You and Me may be my least favorite of hers, it's far from a disappointment!If you're a fan of this author you pretty much know what to expect when you get into one of her books. Her characters are likable, the romance...

Goodness. With all the fluffiness and cuteness in the world. It all starts off with a sudden blackout in the city...Have you ever imagined a city with No electricity, No connections, and Only darkness...A city only lit by the moon and stars...The story's realistic and relatable and the story itself is what makes the whole book seems so adorable.Crossed path of two young people. Blackout. Separation. Travels. Settlement. Meet up of two young people at last.Song:See you again"We've come a long way...

The Geography of You and Me was a cute contemporary read. Unfortunately I wasn't too invested in the characters and I've never been the biggest fan of instalove but I thoroughly enjoyed the vivid descriptions of each individual city and country this book travelled to. Having now read a few of Jennifer E. Smith's books, I'd say this was my least favourite when it came to the writing. For me, it didn't flow as smoothly and have the same fun, quick dialogue as the previous books I've read of hers.

The story starts with Owen and Lucy stuck in an elevator when the whole city plunges into darkness. It is instant chemistry and once they are rescued they roam around the city and end up chatting for hours. They end up spending their night gazing at stars from their rooftop. As fate intervenes, they both leave New York City soon and part ways.Owen and his father are trying to get over their loss of their mother and go on a road trip across America. Lucy joins her parents in London who are avid t...

Have you ever finished a book and felt as though not a lot happened during the story? Or have you ever finished a book and felt very underwhelmed by it? Well, that’s how I feel about The Geography of You and Me and, I’m starting to feel as though maybe I’m just not meant to enjoy any of Smith’s work. The premise of The Geography of You and Me is very cute. It’s about two teenagers – Lucy and Owen – who live in the same apartment complex but they don’t meet until they find themselves stuck inside...

Hmm... not sure yet. Jennifer E. Smith still hasn't wrote a book that wows me. Maybe this will be the one?

this book has two of the best YA contemporary romance tropes (spending just one day together + staying in touch by correspondence) and it still manages to be no fun whatsoever.kinda impressive.part of a series i'm doing in which i review books i read a long time ago

2.5 STARSThe point wasn’t the distance. It was the homecoming. God, I just love that sentiment.And I truly felt that this had a lot of beautiful moments and heartfelt intentions that just got lost in that thick bog of mediocrity with a droning narrative, a climax-less plot, a pair of charmless protagonists and the non-existent chemistry between them. In yet another exercise in frustration, this wasn’t offensively bad, but the stilted potential just shoves the disappointment obnoxiously THERE.

Adorable and quite emotional! The Geography of You and Me is mostly descriptive - it shows snippets of moments suspended in time, it describes deep emotions, and still the author managed to 'show' not simply to 'tell' and I was soon very much in love with the beauty of this story.There was so much that I loved about it:- their first meeting, even the one in San Francisco, with the fiasco ending;- the insights into their lives, their personal struggles with family or friends;- the cards, so me...

(This review has been edited to include an addendum, which will hopefully illustrate what I mean by "bad writing"). After reading & falling in love with Laura Kaye's Hearts in Darkness, I jumped at the chance to read another novel about two strangers who are trapped in an elevator in the middle of a citywide blackout. I was hoping that The Geography of You & Me would be a Young Adult (PG-13) version of Hearts in Darkness. Sadly, however, the only similarity between these two novels IS the br

3.5/5. This book was exactly what I was expecting. It was a light quick read and it was cute. When I pick up these books I don't really expect them to be life-changing or that meaningful so I hardly ever give them 5 stars. I expect these books to just give me a little bit of enjoyment and I did enjoy this book. The characters were likeable and I liked the story. I felt the execution was okay. I think Jennifer E. Smith could have done a lot better. There was no insta-love which is always a good t...

Jennifer E. Smith represents the absolute best in YA writing, and readers will carry this poignant love story in their hearts far after the last sentence is read.

"His eyes caught hers through the darkness and the elevator felt suddenly smaller than it had been minutes ago." I am becoming increasingly frustrated with YA contemporaries of late. Ever since the success of Anna and the French Kiss, there have been an influx of the same cookie-cutter romance, with their own brand of a unique 'twist', but reads more like a sad imitation of Meg Cabot in her heyday. The Geography of You and Me falls into the same trap, except it cut more because I was expectin

5 Words: Postcards, e-mail, family, moving, travelling.This was quite a sweet story, and I quite liked it.But it was quite... Well. How many times have I just used that word?As lovely as this story was, I don't think it's something that's really gonna stick with me. Sure, it was sweet and enjoyable, but there was nothing truly stand-out about it, nothing that would compel me to read again.It was something nice to pass the time, but something that I've also quite forgotten by the time I started t...
