The geography of us two

Where does love live? And can this feeling endure distance? Jennifer E. Smith returns with The Geography of Us , a story about love and missed encounters.

Lucy lives on the twenty-fourth floor. Owen lives in the basement... And it's halfway there that they both meet—trapped in an elevator, between two floors of a luxury building in New York. The city is in darkness thanks to a blackout. And between melted ice cream, traffic chaos, stars, and confessions, they discover that the electricity may have gone out... but it hasn't disappeared from their conversation. Something sparkles in their hearts.

The short time spent together leaves its mark. And the two can't stop thinking about each other, even when geography seems to interfere. Lucy moves to Edinburgh, and Owen sets off on a road trip with his father. While Lucy takes the opportunity to get closer to her own parents and explore several European countries, Owen is on a mission... to help his father recover from the death of his wife, the boy's mother.

Lucy moves to London. Owen passes through Lake Tahoe, Seattle, and San Francisco. Each exploring themselves and the world. But always exchanging postcards and a simple phrase... a request, a mantra: I wish you were here. The problem is that here seems to be moving away from them at every turn. And, between new friends, old dramas, and many goodbyes, they learn that distance isn't always measured in kilometers—and is no match for destiny.

"If it were just a travel story or just a romance, it would still be perfect. But this book is both, and I loved it!" - Lauren Morrill, author of Meant to Be.
