Post #2: The most important line from the book so far.

The most important line from The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight so far is When Hadley says "When you're on the other side of it, she says fifty- two years can seem like about fifty- two minutes" (48). During this sene of the book Hadley is getting on the plane to fly to England with this boy named Oliver. When she sits next to this old women she tells Hadley about her own marriage and how time flys and you don't even realize it. How you can easily fall in love in a short period of time and out of love in a long period of time. This quote is important because it shows Hadley that people can fall in love easily even if you just had met them or people can stop loving each other even if they have been together for a long period of time. This quote can relate to her parents' marriage because they were together for 12 years but now her parents are getting a divorce and her dad is getting re married. Later in the book Hadley says "Someone once told her there's a formula for how long it takes to get over someone, that it's half as long as the time you've been together. Hadley has her doubts about how accurate this could possibly be, a calculation so simple for something as complicated as heartbreak. After all, her parents had been married almost 12 years, and it took Dad only a few short months to fall for someone else"(106). She is about to go to the wedding and is very nervous. She started to think if it was a mistake for going or if it will be worth it.
