Review Detail

FOUR DAYS OF YOU AND ME is a completely charming and compelling YA contemporary romance. Told from the perspective of Lulu over four years, we follow her path to love and personal success. Lulu dreams of writing and illustrating graphic novels, and she is frequently working on her craft. Each year, her school takes a class trip, beginning with the freshman class trip to a science museum. On each trip, her relationship with Alex becomes something bigger and more important.

The book primarily occurs during the class trips, but also includes flashbacks from the prior year. There are elements of enemies-to-dating and second chance romance that really make this a book that tugs at all the heartstrings. As the book covers so much time, I felt like we really delve into their relationship and the way that it evolves. I also loved seeing how they both followed their passions and ultimately supported each other.

This book gave me a lot of feels. It was so easy to empathize with Lulu and her emotions and thoughts become so real throughout the book. The characters are so three-dimensional, and I loved seeing them grow. I would recommend this to older YA readers with a note of some consensual sexual content and swearing.

This is such a compelling and engrossing YA contemporary romance. It is impossible to put down, so definitely save a whole afternoon to devour this fantastic read.
