Jennifer E. Smith is having a moment and it’s one that we’re happy about. Her books are so good that they deserve a great adaptation. And Field Notes On Love is about to be a great adaptation.
How do we know?
Dove Cameron and Jordan Fisher have been set as the leads. Not to mention that author Jennifer E. Smith is adapting with Lauren Graham. My fandom heart couldn’t be happier.
If you aren’t familiar with Field Notes On Love, here’s the synopsis –
It’s the perfect idea for a romantic week together: traveling across America by train.
But then Hugo’s girlfriend dumps him. Her parting gift: the tickets for their long-planned last-hurrah-before-uni trip. Only, it’s been booked under her name. Nontransferable, no exceptions.
Mae is still reeling from being rejected from USC’s film school. When she stumbles across Hugo’s ad for a replacement Margaret Campbell (her full name!), she’s certain it’s exactly the adventure she needs to shake off her disappointment and jump-start her next film.
A cross-country train trip with a complete stranger might not seem like the best idea. But to Mae and Hugo, both eager to escape their regular lives, it makes perfect sense. What starts as a convenient arrangement soon turns into something more. But when life outside the train catches up to them, can they find a way to keep their feelings for each other from getting derailed?
Sounds adorable, right? It’s a really great story. Jennifer E. Smith has a way of weaving a story that keeps you captivated.
No word on production dates as of yet, but we can’t wait for this to start. It’s definitely a movie that we’ll be following.
