Four Days of You and Me by Miranda Kenneally
Goodreads Summary:
A new swoon-worthy romance following a couple’s love story on the same date over four years.
Every May 7, the students at Coffee County High School take a class trip. And every year, Lulu’s relationship with Alex Rouvelis gets a little more complicated. Freshman year, they went from sworn enemies to more than friends after a close encounter in an escape room. It’s been hard for Lulu to quit Alex ever since.
Through breakups, make ups, and dating other people, each year’s class trip brings the pair back together and forces them to confront their undeniable connection. From the science museum to an amusement park, from New York City to London, Lulu learns one thing is for sure: love is the biggest trip of all.
My Review:
I feel like had I read this book when I was in high school, I would have loved it. However, reading it now I just feel like the very vague happy ending that these characters got will not be as happy in the next year or two once they go off to college in separate states.
I did really enjoy getting to see the characters grow up over the course of the four years and mature into people that were ready for that relationship. I liked getting to watch their on-again off-again relationship change and grow as they matured. I also liked how the story was told through the main four events of the class field trip of each year of high school. We also got flashbacks to the previous year leading up to the field trip that helped fill in the blanks of how their year had gone. I also loved all of the side characters. While there were a lot, I felt like it wasn’t too much and it was easy to keep track of them. A big part of this was because some were introduced later on in the book. They weren’t all present or important in the first few chapters.
