Young Adult Contemporary
Lucy lives on the twenty-fourth floor. Owen lives in the
basement. It's fitting, then, that they meet in the middle —
stuck between two floors of a New York City apartment
building, on an elevator rendered useless by a citywide
blackout. After they're rescued, Lucy and Owen spend the
night wandering the darkened streets and marveling at the
rare appearance of stars above Manhattan. But once the power
is back, so is reality. Lucy soon moves abroad with her
parents, while Owen heads out west with his father. The brief time they spend together leaves a mark. And as
their lives take them to Edinburgh and to San Francisco, to
Prague and to Portland, Lucy and Owen stay in touch through
postcards, occasional e-mails, and phone calls. But can they
— despite the odds — find a way to reunite? Smartly observed and wonderfully romantic, Jennifer E.
Smith's new novel shows that the center of the world isn't
necessarily a place. Sometimes, it can be a person.
