CONTAINS SPOILERS

Having just been dumped by his girlfriend, British-born Hugo is still determined to take his last-hurrah-before-college train trip across the United States. One snag: the companion ticket is already booked under the name of his ex, Margaret Campbell. Nontransferable, no exceptions.



Enter the new Margaret C. (Mae for short), an aspiring filmmaker with big dreams. After finding Hugo's spare ticket offer online, she's convinced it's the perfect opportunity to expand her horizons.



When the two meet, the attraction is undeniable, and both find more than they bargained for. As Mae pushes Hugo to explore his dreams for his future, he'll encourage her to channel a new, vulnerable side of her art. But when life off the train threatens the bubble they've created for themselves, will they manage to keep their love on track?

Heartwarming. Beautifully written. Filled with so many emotions.


I have been reading JENNIFER E. SMITH novels for few years now, but it has been couple years since I read a book by her. After I read FIELD NOTES ON LOVE I remembered why she is one of my favorite authors. There was not a single page that did not capture my attention, it actually had me on edge of my seat with each page, each chapter. I always enjoyed books that featured traveling as well. Through the years I have read most of her books, and I loved every single one of them. I do believe that FIELD NOTES ON LOVE was a bit different than the other books that she has written. I had the feeling that it would end up a book that I would enjoy, just from reading the summary and it was. I thought that it was romantic that the two of them fell in love on train, and I am sure that when they decided to take the trip together, that it was the last thing that was on their minds. The reason they took the trip in the first place, was to escape and instead ended up falling for one another.


I loved both Mae and Hugo. When Hugo first posted the ad, I couldn’t help but wonder how it would work. Would they get along? Or would the trip end up being a disaster. I enjoyed the interviews that she did with people on the train, and there were few that had fascinating stories. Hugo and Mae became close fast and I feel as it because they had a connection between the two of them when they met. I could tell that it did not take Hugo long to realize how he felt about Mae, and I was rooting for Mae to figure that part out, that she loved him. Even her dads could tell that Hugo was in love with her when she showed them the interview. I was hoping that the two of them would find a way to reunite again, to tell each other how they felt about each other. What Hugo did, that was sweet and I couldn’t help and smile. FIELD NOTES ON LOVE is a type of book that I couldn’t stop reading, but at the same time did not want to finish, mostly because I didn’t want it to end. The story will have you going through the emotions, and you find yourself as if you going on the trip along with Hugo and Mae.


My emotions are still everywhere, I cannot stop thinking about it. I cannot stop wondering what happened after. FIELD NOTES ON LOVE is a story that will stay with me for years to come, a story I will recommend to my friends. Once I read it, I felt inspired to work on the romance novel, which I am in process of writing. I loved reading from Mae and Hugo’s point of view, a way to get know each character better and easier to relate to. JENNIFER E.SMITH did it again, wrote another astonishing story. If you love young adult romance, I would highly recommend it. While reading it, I was very tempted to make my own train trip sometime in future, I feel as it be a lot of fun.


There is so much to love about this book. Breathtaking.
