The Geography of You and Me

In Jennifer E. Smith's novel, Lucy and Owen's paths unexpectedly converge when they find themselves stuck in a New York City elevator during a blackout. After a memorable night exploring the darkened streets, their lives take them in different directions—Lucy moves abroad while Owen heads west. Despite their physical separation, they maintain a connection through postcards and calls, raising the question of whether they can bridge the distance and reunite. This heartfelt story captures the idea that sometimes the center of one's world is a person rather than a place.
