Field Notes on Love

De: Jennifer E. Smith

Narrado por: Anthony Mark Barrow, Karissa Vacker

"Utterly romantic." (Jenny Han, NYT best-selling author of To All the Boys I've Loved Before)

The best-selling author of Windfall and The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight returns with a meet-cute romance about Hugo and Mae, two teens who are thrown together on a cross-country train trip that will teach them about love, each other, and the futures they can build for themselves.

It's the perfect idea for a romantic week together: traveling across America by train.

But then Hugo's girlfriend dumps him. Her parting gift: the tickets for their long-planned last-hurrah-before-uni trip. Only, it's been booked under her name. Nontransferable, no exceptions.

Mae is still reeling from being rejected from USC's film school. When she stumbles across Hugo's ad for a replacement Margaret Campbell (her full name!), she's certain it's exactly the adventure she needs to shake off her disappointment and jump-start her next film.

A cross-country train trip with a complete stranger might not seem like the best idea. But to Mae and Hugo, both eager to escape their regular lives, it makes perfect sense. What starts as a convenient arrangement soon turns into something more. But when life outside the train catches up to them, can they find a way to keep their feelings for each other from getting derailed?

"One of the loveliest, most touching romances of 2019 thus far that gets at the nature of something deeply buried in all of our hearts." (Entertainment Weekly)

"This warm, romantic, never overly sentimental story is told with humor and heart.... A deeply satisfying read about a life-changing journey full of poignant moments." (Kirkus)

A Junior Library Guild Selection

"This warm, romantic, never overly sentimental story is told with humor and heart.... A deeply satisfying read about a life-changing journey full of poignant moments." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

"Hugo and Mae's alternating viewpoints are rich and introspective, and this will appeal to any teen that appreciates a thoughtful love story." (Booklist)

"Romance novels can titillate, inspire, intoxicate, and more - but then sometimes they reach in and touch something essential in you. Jennifer E. Smith’s Field Notes on Love is a YA romance that does just that...[it] is one of the loveliest, most touching romances of 2019 thus far that gets at the nature of something deeply buried in all of our hearts." (Entertainment Weekly)

Perfection!

Fresh , amazing characters. Perfectly performed🩷 Will be reading everything from this author. Thanks for the awesome experience!

Wonderful

I loved this book! I was a wonderland of hope, love, loss, and possibilities to life.

Ah-dork-able!

An ooey-gooey teen romance, perfect for anyone who likes spontaneous, sappy, movie worthy stories.

awful recording of narration

omg there sounded like there was something wrong with the recording of the male narrator. It was refreshing to hear the female narrator but I just couldn't finish this.

Field Notes on Love

I loved this book! I recommend it to anyone! It is well written! Well done!

Sweet and hopeful.

I really enjoyed this book. It was sweet and hopeful and just a bit angsty which is exactly what I love. Hugo was great and relatable and I loved that Mae was a bit of a non romantic girl. It was very refreshing to read.

Loved this book!! ✨✨

The people who read it were amazing with how clearly they sounded and how good they did each voice!

Excellent Story. Highly Recommend.

I bought this book because Lauren Graham bumped it. Then I read the reviews and was afraid I wasn't going to like it. This story is fantastic. I loved it. Mark's narration is a little fast and sometimes hard to understand but I just went back to hear him again & I didn't need to slow his narration down to get what he said the 2nd time. I've heard Karissa narrate before and love her. I do recommend this book. It is a great, wholesome love story.

Definitely for teens/early 20’s

This book I think appeals more to a younger crowd which I wish I had known beforehand. A lot of times, these types of stories are still really fun and engaging even once you age out of it but this didn’t really do it for me. I can tell if I were a high school or college student though that I would have enjoyed the whole thing which is why I have it a great review. Some things just aren’t made for everyone and that’s okay. If your in that age group, I’d still recommend it though

Book is great, narration is iffy…

Okay so this book is adorable. But the guy who does Hugo’s voice can’t read Mae’s lines. It sounds so weird. I wish they had the girl reading for Mae and the boy for Hugo… the Hugo chapters were rough once Mae joined the picture, which is sad because I love the narrator’s Hugo voice! Just not for Mae…
