wingedcreature 's review for:
The Geography of You and Me
by Jennifer E. Smith
I thought Geography was really cute! Of course, I didn't love it like Statistical Probability, but I still liked it!
I don't know if I'm the biggest fan of Lucy and Owen. I mean, I liked the part in the elevator, and I really wish they spent more time stuck in the elevator. I'm not sure what I expected with their relationship, but it felt like a lot of waiting for them to finally see each other after moving, and I felt like there was a lot of regret on their part. Which I get but I just really wanted to see them see each other again. It just didn't seem like their connection was all that strong, and I think that's why I had trouble rooting for them- I was just as fine with them not being together. And that's never good for a cute, fluffy romance.
I thought there was too much filler, and while I don't mind it (in small doses), it also made the book feel really slow and forced. I wanted the warm, fuzzy feels, and I don't think it delivered on that because of the fact that the characters didn't interact a lot after they both moved...and yet, they hated that they weren't around each other. It didn't make a lot of sense to me. But I liked the idea of e-mails from one person and postcards from the other. And I liked seeing them travel all over the place- Lucy in Europe and Owen in the U.S.
I did like the fact that the book was open-ended- it makes me wonder how things turned out for the characters (hopefully better than what we saw in the book).
My Rating: 3 stars. It's cute and fun, but I didn't feel the romance at all.
