Waiting on Wednesday (77)

Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted at Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we seriously can’t wait for.

Here's my pick for the week, that I seriously can't wait for:

The Geography of You and Me

by Jennifer E. Smith

Publication Date: April 15, 2014

-------------------------------------------------

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.

------------------------------------------------

So let's look at what we got here: a boy and a girl trapped in an elevator, a date on the streets of Manhattan, separation by miles of land and ocean, and then finally a meetup back where they first met.  Uh, could you want anything else in a love story? As long as Jennifer's name is attached I am reading it!  So looking forward to another fantastic, heartbreaking, hilarious, sweet, and epic love story.

What book are you waiting for?
