You Are Here by Jennifer E. Smith

You Are Here by Jennifer E. Smith - 251 pages

Emma has always felt like something is missing -- that she doesn't fit into her family.  Then she finds out she had a twin brother who died right after birth.

Peter has always wanted to travel the world -- see new places.  He's never gotten the chance as his father is determined to keep them both in their small town forever.

Now they're on a road trip together.  Emma wants to find the brother she never knew and convinces Peter to go with her to find his grave.


I really enjoyed this book.  I liked the relationships between the various characters and how they change throughout the story.  I would recommend this to fans of Sarah Dessen or Morgan Matson.

Summer Days and Summer Nights edited by Stephanie Perkins

Summer Days and Summer Nights: Twelve Love Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins - 384 pages

This is the sequel to the holiday romance anthology edited by Stephanie Perkins -- My True Love Gave to Me.  I picked up this book as it has a sequel story to one in the first anthology.  However, I didn't think that short story lived up to its predecessor.  I did really enjoy the stories Head, Scales, Tongue, and Tail by Leigh Bardugo, The End of Love by Nina LaCour, and A Thousand Ways This Could All Go Wrong by Jennifer E. Smith.  Most of the other stories were interesting to read.
