An oldie but a goodie, another day another dollar, all’s well that ends well, an apple a day keeps the doctor away.  You guys know what these are?  Clichés, just like this book is a cliché.  I had to make myself finish this one because I knew how it was going to end on the first page.  I also knew pretty much what was going to happen by the second or third chapter.  I felt like I had read this book a million times over.  Don’t waste your time.

Lucy and Owen meet in the elevator during a New York City blackout and end up having a picnic on the roof of the building that night.  And guess what, they like each other!  Who knew that was going to happen?  Answer: everyone.  Here is the one thing the book had going for it; travel.  Unfortunately, the travel part didn’t pan out either.  The only way we know where they are is at the beginning of the chapters it says “In London Lucy…”.  Lucy and Owen can’t be together because Lucy is moving to Edinburgh and Owen is going out west with his dad.  So they start sending each other postcards from wherever they are.  But wait, you can’t have a book like this without a little jealousy sprinkled in there, right?  So of course both Lucy and Owen end up dating someone else and when they see each other in San Fransisco they find out and stop talking for a while.  As you’ve probably guessed, after San Fransisco  they keep thinking about each other (featuring one line pages about where they are thinking about each other) and end up meeting in New York where it all started and have another picnic on the roof of the building.  The End.

Now this is only my opinion of the book, if this seems like something you would like, go ahead and read it, but just remember if you have read any other teen romance books, you’ve read this one too.
