3.5 A cute book with a few flaws. I didn't love it quite as much as The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, but I think it accurately portrays the volatility of teen romance. I love the old fashioned snail mail element to it. I think it was a bit drawn out in some ways and in others a bit flat. Still a good quick read but not one I'm likely to read again. ( )

I liked this book better because it took place over like a year not a day. I LOVE both characters pov and also the aspects of traveling. I really loved the pace and plot of this novel and the characters were adorable and i like that they got to grow in to their romance as well. ( )

Lucy and Owen meet when they are trapped together in an elevator during a major blackout. They're only trapped there for a few hours, but they go on to spend the rest of the evening together on the roof of their apartment building. There's definitely something between them. . . but a week later, both leave the city and go in different directions. They keep in touch, sort of: an email here, a postcard there. But can whatever they feel for each other survive the distance?

This was okay, but I never really bought into the romance. I didn't really have a sense of why they were so attracted to each other. I felt like that first meeting, in the elevator and then on the roof, was told more than shown. Maybe if we had gotten more dialogue, I would have felt the connection? And both characters felt very bland to me. I've liked other books by this author, but this one left me cold. ( )
