Overview:
Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Review:
Jennifer Smith's book, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, is a book that normally I wouldn't read. If I had a choice, then normally I'd go for paranormal, sci-fy, or historical fiction. I like to read about things that don't normally occur in modern every day life.
With that thought, I had randomly grabbed this book off the shelf when I had done my work in the library and had time to spare. I didn't think anything much would come of it as I cracked it open and began to read...
Smith's book... I actually enjoyed. It was a better read than I thought it would be, and easy to get into. After the first couple of pages had gone and passed, I knew I had to check this out. Within the day it was finished. The banter between the Hadley and Oliver was easy and humorous. As the plot progressed and the depth of the characters was deepened, it became more relateable yet simple to follow.
If you're having a bad day, or just looking for a good mushy-gushy kinda book to read, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is a great book to read. Purely romance and drama, but without the stereotypical storyline and overly pathetic romance. I give it a four out of five as stories go.
I read this book for one reason: It made "love" "statistical". So I can relate to you in the sense of it's not the typical book I'd pick up but I totally agree that it is a book I read whenever I am having a bad day and just want to read and eat chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteLol, of course you'd read a "statistical love" book. Although I don't think this is quite what either of us were expecting...
