Agree! (view spoiler)[they both are interesting characters. I loved them from the very first time they come to the story :) (hide spoiler)]

[Huda]

Hey! Sadly I can't do this read simply because I suddenly have a family emergency and in the last day I've been running around packing things because we're flying out from Sydney to Jordan to my grandmother. Sorry! Really was looking forward for the read but things are a little too stressful around here. <3

[Rachmi]

That's okay, Huda. I've finished it and loved it. Whenever you want to continue and discuss it with me, I'm here :)

I hope everything is fine with your grandmother. And have a safe flight to Jordan!

I'm excited to read this right now :)

[Princess]

Starting it :D

[Presiana]

I'm going to start it tonight.

[Princess]

10% (view spoiler)[ I have read her other book The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and so far it looks like another fast paced romance. (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

Princess wrote: "10% [spoilers removed]"

I haven't read any book from this author before..
15% (view spoiler)[ I like the story so far... I needed something like that and I'm enjoying it a lot. I agree that the romance is a bit fast paced but I like it that way. I believe that everything happens for a reason and the way they met is just destiny. (hide spoiler)]

[Princess]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ Lucy got moves!! And Owen is stupid for not being straight forward with his feelings.. And I really want to punch Sam in the face (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 10 (view spoiler)[ So this will be a love triangle? Idk whom I should felt bad, Owen or Liam? (hide spoiler)]

Ending part of Chapter 17 and 18 (view spoiler)[ I love how the author deliver the bad news lol (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 25-34 (view spoiler)[ So much for being called a chapter (hide spoiler)]

I have finished it (view spoiler)[ I agree that everything happens for a reason. I noticed that destiny plays a big part on most of the authors story and I like it. I think that the author is a big fan of destiny herself or she has her own experience about it (hide spoiler)]

[Presiana]

Ahh, I would have finished it but today I'm planning a birthday surprise for a friend of mine so I'll try to read it tomorrow and then I'll see your updates and write my thoughts. :)

[Presiana]

Chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ it is a bit cheesy but I think this kiss was sweet and romantic :3 (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 9 (view spoiler)[ So that's why the book is called the Geography of You and Me... I loved the description of it. (hide spoiler)]
Chapter 25 (view spoiler)[ I hate these "chapters".... the book is full with them... (hide spoiler)]
finished it (view spoiler)[ the end was a bit childish I think... they live thousands of miles apart and still they think that they can maintain a relationship... it's good to have hopes and to believe in something but I think they both need to move on with their lives as soon as possible. (hide spoiler)]

Hope this book is good! :)

[Melanie]

6%

(view spoiler)[This is so cute!! And such a quick read too.

I'd be scared to be stuck in an elevator :/ (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Character Thoughts:
(view spoiler)[I liked the characters in this book, and how they weren't perfect. Right away I fell in love with their relationship and the concept, and the pure chance of it all. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Plot Thoughts:
(view spoiler)[While I got frustrated at parts, that was mainly because the characters were being real, and the plot helped make the relationship look real and less like some fantasy. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

"Realness" Thoughts:
(view spoiler)[I liked the realness of the book, from the slow loss of contact to seeing new people for a short time, it showed that keeping up contact over distance is hard, which is extremely true. (hide spoiler)]

[Meaghan]

Overall Thoughts:

"If you were to draw a map of the two of them, of where they started out and where the would both end up, the lines would be shooting away from each other like magnets spun around on their poles. And it occurred to Owen that there was something deeply flawed about this, that there should be circles of angles or turns, anything that might make it possible for the two to meet again."

(view spoiler)[I really really liked this book. It wasn't complex in any form, but I think the concept is what reached out to me most. I'm in a long distance relationship myself, so some of the quotes really touched me, and made me like the book more. (hide spoiler)]

[Melanie]

24%

(view spoiler)[I wonder why Owen left the roof without even letting her know? Is he getting breakfast or something? lol (hide spoiler)]

[Michelle]

Can I still join? I would start reading it tomorrow.(:

I loved the book! Have you read any of this author's other works? She always has such light, fun stories with great characters. I've enjoyed all her books.

I love that quote you shared :D

[Brooke]

(view spoiler)[ i swear i am reading a John Green novel here! the postcards are nice, thou he really should reply to her emails or tell her to only send cards or something. also his father has horrible luck, and she is a whiny spoiled brat. (hide spoiler)]

[Brooke]

Ending Thoughts
(view spoiler)[ the boy MC deserve better than the girl MC, just my opinion. This screams John Green thou and that bothered me. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

I just finished part 1 (view spoiler)[ Aw I love Lucy and Owen already! It was cute but freaky that they both sent one another the same message on a postcard. I don't see why Owen didn't just tell her that he was leaving but I guess it must be hard as they don't know each other well yet. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiffany]

Read up to chapter 8 (view spoiler)[ I'm really enjoying this book, I hope Lucy stands up to her parents and stay in New York with Owen. They are so cute (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Finished part two (view spoiler)[ Ugh no, that was super awkward! She went out of her way to make time to see him and they just ended up arguing. But I suppose it goes to show they really do care about one another because it started when they talked about their other relationships. I wonder where this will go now, whether they will still send postcards... (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Tiffany wrote: "Read up to chapter 8 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Thinking about it that may have been possible, Lucy staying in New York considering she was so used to being alone. But Owen ended up being hundreds of miles away from New York anyway. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Part three (view spoiler)[ Aw, those short chapters were cute. I like that Owen is now settled in a new home. I wonder who will contact who first as their obviously going to see each other again. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Part four (view spoiler)[ Aw, I'm surprised Owen had the courage to send that email to Lucy. They've only really seen each other 3 times properly! And Owen isn't the type to send emails but maybe that shows how much he likes Lucy. Can't wait to find out how he is going to get to New York. (hide spoiler)]

[Amy]

Finished (view spoiler)[ This was a good read, not sure I would read another book by Jennifer E. Smith though as it is slightly forgettable. I wish there were more interactions between the two main characters, some postcard entries would have been nice to give a personal touch. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiffany]

i plan to be finished by tomorrow (sorry i havent had chance to read yet today)

[Amy]

Tiffany wrote: "i plan to be finished by tomorrow (sorry i havent had chance to read yet today)"

No worries, I'll still be here to discuss :)

Awesome :)

[Carrie]

Amy wrote: "I just finished part 1 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I didn't get why he wasn't telling her either. Just seems that it wouldn't be that big of deal since she was too. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Amy wrote: "Finished part two [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ Kind of figured the long distance would cause problems between them after such a short time and they both ended up awkward with hiding things. :( (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Part 3 (view spoiler)[ Both traveling and remembering each other... makes you wonder if the loneliness of moving around makes one cling to the familiar and miss it more. (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Chapter 40 (view spoiler)[ Ah! The invention of email.... *cough* (hide spoiler)]

[Carrie]

Ending (view spoiler)[ Not a huge fan of this one, they just didn't interact with each other enough to make me get the feeling of belonging together. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiffany]

Amy wrote: "Part three [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[I loved the short chapters and how they went together with the different views. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiffany]

Amy wrote: "Part four [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Seeing him build up the courage to email her was amazing. I loved how they carried the postcards from each other around it was really cute. His dad is really supportive of him even though they were struggling. (hide spoiler)]

[Tiffany]

Amy wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I agree I would like to see the acctual postcards in the book. I think I would definatley read another one of her books. I loved the ending it was cute. (hide spoiler)]
