56) The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight-Jennifer E. Smith




Today has been the day from hell for Hadley. She realizes that her dress doesn't fit, gets stuck at the gas station for 45 minutes, her suitcase is broken and worst of all, she's just missed her flight to London to watch her dad get married. It's an event she has been dreading which only adds to her terrible day. How could she watch her dad marry the woman who ruined her family? After talking with the airline, she manages to get the last seat on the next flight...three hours from now. Just after finding a seat in the terminal, she asks a woman to look after her bag while she runs to the bathroom. The cantankerous woman scolds her and just before Hadley can say something mean, a boy says he will watch it for her. Instead of taking him up on his offer, she takes her bag and walks away.

However, the boy follows her and the two strike up a conversation. Hadley feels something that is new to her. She just met this guy! Why would she feel like she's known him forever? Why would she feel like this is the start of something big? She finds out that they're sitting int he same row on the flight and it only intensifies her feeling. They spend the next seven hours of the flight talking, getting to know one another and flirting. When they finally reach London, Hadley doesn't know what to do. Will she ever see him again? Will her dad's wedding be as bad as it seems? Will this trip be more than she could have ever anticipated?

I really loved this book. I read it in literally a day. It seems to the be the ones that I grab on a whim that I enjoy the most. Anyway, it definitely kept you reading. You wanted to know what was going to happen next and that seemed odd to me for a love story. It wasn't cheesy or over the top. It was more than just a love story. It was a story about a girl coming to terms with a lot of aspects of her life. It's amazing that it was set only over a two day span. I definitely recommend this book when it comes out at the end of January!
