“A heart-shaking exploration
of a fragile long-distance relationship…Deftly romantic and anchored in an
age when the Internet has made long distance a much more familiar concept for
teenagers, this is a fantastic story.”
— Vanity Fair
-
“[Smith] delivers her best book
yet, a straightforward, old-fashioned swoon fest that, in another time, would
be a film starring Audrey Hepburn…It’s a classic dish served up with style,
heart, and a long-distance yearning immediately recognizable to anyone who has
had to love from afar. And Smith makes it all look as effortless as the charmed
rapport between Lucy and Owen.”
— Booklist (starred review)
-
“Fans of Smith’s previous works,
namely The Statistical Probability of
Love at First Sight, and other love stories like John Green’s The Fault in Our Stars and David
Levithan’s Every Day will like this
novel, which is a similar combination of head and heart. The book is perfectly
wholesome, without any harsh language or sexual content, so it will be a
welcome addition to any library.”
— VOYA (starred review)

“Owen and Lucy meet when they get stuck in a New York City elevator during a widespread power outage…There are plenty of romantic sigh-worthy moments, too, but it’s Owen and Lucy’s individual journeys that really hit home.”
— Publishers Weekly
-
“This contemporary YA novel focuses on themes of family, life after loss,
and long-distance relationships. Readers will enjoy experiencing
different cities and countries through the protagonists' eyes.”
— Library Journal

“As Owen wanders across the western
United States and Lucy moves throughout Europe, what will happen to their
blossoming romance? Jennifer E. Smith presents a moving romantic tale of love
ignited, disrupted and—dare we hope—rekindled. Readers will enjoy this
heartfelt story of love lost and found.”
— Children’s Literature
-
“Smith fashions long-distance
travel into a metaphor for the leaps of faith that love demands…The alternating
narration builds tension as the two both live their separate lives and
recollect their fragile bond, giving readers access to the closely observed
emotions of each, something neither has. If the emotional authenticity points
up less-believable plot points (if only applying to college were so easy!), it
also eclipses those lapses. Truth about love always gets our attention, and
this book will catch readers’.”
— Kirkus Reviews
