The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith

The Geography of You and Me by Jennifer E. Smith - 337 pages

Lucy and Owen meet for the first time when they get stuck in an elevator during a city-wide blackout.  After being rescued they spend the rest of the night together getting to know each other.  It's the start of a relationship . . . or is it?  The next thing you know Lucy and Owen have both moved away.  At first they keep in contact.  But then it starts to slip away.  After multiple moves for both -- they get the chance to meet again.  Will they take that chance?  Or let it slip away?

This is a typical Jennifer E. Smith book.  It deals with the relationship between teenagers and what it takes for that relationship to work.  There are obstacles to overcome - both individually and together.  The characters learn about themselves and life in general as they move through the story.  A great read!
