post #5: book review for The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

I am going to be honest. This is really not my type of book. Most of the time I do not read romance novels. I stick to more of adventure/ dystopian novels. But this time I wanted to try something new because I wanted to check this book out since I heard it was a decent book from a friend. So I was like why not give this book a try. Even though when I first saw the cover I knew it was probably going to be one of those teenage cheesy romance novels.



For my rating of this book I would have given it 3.5 stars. My reasoning behind my rating is because, 1. the book was very short(236 pages in total if you were curious), 2 the plot was very predictable from the start(I will give a mini summary down below trying not to give away the ending but you could probably guess it without reading the book) and lastly the book was not that exciting at all. But there were somethings that I liked in this book like how the conflict in the book was set up between the main character and her father and how they were going to try and start over after her parents divorce. I also like the romantic friendship that Hadley and Oliver developed over the book. And lastly I loved the ending and how that turned out.

A mini summasry of the book:
To start off the main setting of the book took place in London. In the begining we meet the main character, Hadley Sullivan, who is a 17 year old girl. We find out that she is on her way to the airport to fly to London to arrive at her father's wedding to meet her new step-mother just right after her parents just got a divorce. She ends up missing her flight by 4 minutes and is going to be late for the wedding. When she gets on the next flight she meets this boy named Oliver. On the plane she discusses and talks to Oliver about her parents and how to is going to tackle the wedding. Through out the books she tries to forget her father and suddenly falls in love with Oliver. Through out the book she tries to regain her trust with her father.
