Field Notes on Love
by Jennifer E. Smith
"Field Notes On Love" is a very fun book that I read to relax and get out of a reading slump. It's a sweet story about two teenagers discovering themselves before they head off to college. I think this story will appeal to anyone who's not sure about their future after high school yet.
Our main characters, Mae and Hugo had very distinct and nice personalities, I loved reading about them and I also loved both family dynamics. To be honest, I felt closest to Mae because she had a clear vision in her head about what and how she wants her future to be, and even though this mindset isn't always ideal, I really sympathized with her and her struggle. Hugo on the other hand was so confused and conflicted that my heart felt for him. I completely understood his need to "escape" his family, I cannot even begin to imagine how it is to be a sextuple and always do everything with your siblings. One more thing, I did find the whole "sextuple thing" a bit overboard, but I believe it served the plot well, with the whole scholarship thing.
Even though I generally liked this book, it didn't go the extra mile for me. I wanted something more to fall in love with it and say that I would read it again. I definitely recommend it though, especially since it's summer and I think it can be an excellent summer read for many readers!
