Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. She's stuck at JFK, late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that 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 in seat 18C. Hadley's in 18A.
Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.-Goodreads

My Review:
"What are you really studying?" He leans back to look at her. "The statistical probability of love at first sight."
The quotation above is probably one of my favorite ones in the whole book!! I absolutely adored The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. When I first heard about it, this book sounded right up my alley: it has an attractive British boy, an amazing female lead, and a trip to one of my favorite cities..London!!
What I really loved the most about this book was seeing how two people can suddenly go from strangers, to falling in love in less then 24 hours. Of course, that doesn't really seem realistic but the way that Jennifer E. Smith wrote this book makes me really feel like it can happen!!
My favorite character in this novel has to be Hadley!! Within the span of twenty-four hours she changes so much as a character and I really liked seeing her progression!! I also loved seeing her relationship with Oliver, how he could be so sweet and caring, and yet have a great humorous side as well! I was really cheering for both of these characters as I read this novel!!
While this book is not only a love story, it also deals with family and families reuniting/coming together and it was a really great aspect to be added to this novel!!
Overall, I HIGHLY recommend this book!! It was a great contemporary/romance novel for me and I really loved reading it!! I not only fell in love with the story..but with the characters as well!!
My Rating: Five out of Five Stars

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the idea of this book. It's one that I've stuck really high on my list of books to read. I've heard really great things. Though, I typically don't have the same appreciation for contemps as some others do, this one sounds too good to pass up :)
