My wishlist book this week is:
The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith
(release date April 2014)
From Amazon:
Lucy and Owen meet somewhere between the tenth and twelfth 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.
Why do I want to read this?
I’ve read and enjoyed Jennifer E. Smith’s two previous young adult books, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and This Is What Happy Looks Like (reviewed here). In both, we meet likable, unusual characters who fall in love — but with clever twists, a few obstacles, and quite a lot of intelligence. I really enjoy the author’s writing style, the light, upbeat approach, and the sweet romance of it all.
Plus, those titles! I’m a sucker for a book with a great catchy title, and this is yet another good one. Count me in!

Ow this looks like a sweet read. Hope you will be able to get your hands on a copy!
LOVE this concept. *adds to TBR*
I adored Statistical Probability, but was didn’t like This is What Happy Looks Like as much. This however seems like a delightful combo of the two.
Yes! I was *thisclose* to putting this one as my WW. Sounds fantastic, great pick!
Thanks for stopping by my WW!
It looks really good and I haven’t read anything by this author and now my curiosity has been stroked. Great pick! 🙂
I never got around to This is What Happy Looks like but I did read and mostly enjoy The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight… they are very cute, fluffy reads. This one does sound adorable though and the cover is too cute. Will have to check this one out. Thanks for sharing!
Very cute and fluffy — really fun summer reads, I think!
I have not heard of this one but, it sounds good. I am a day late on commenting sorry! I hope you get it soon!

Thanks, Brittany! I’m looking forward to this one… although it’s still a long way away.
I didn’t realize that she had another book coming out! I adored The Statistical Probability of Love at First sight, but I still need to read This is What Happy Looks Like!
