This, though. This is peak Jennifer E Smith. It’s sappy and it makes no sense and it should practically impossible for those two people to make it through the book, and yet it falls perfectly into place with the fluffiest romance. And I loved every second of it.

I love books that involve road-trips, so I was excited to check out a cross country train trip!
The characters were lovely and believable, and overall just a lighthearted read, would recommend.

This book is more than just a whirlwind romance story though, as it's really a study on love just as the title says. It's explored through many characters and their versions of love - toward each other and towards Mae and Hugo. All of the supporting characters are just wonderful and add so much to the story - Mae's dads, her beloved Nana, Hugo's brothers and sisters, and everyone they meet on the train. Really sweet and heartwarming YA romance that never feels either sickly sweet or too mature for YA.
