APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Best-selling author Jennifer E. Smith invites us on a heartwarming journey across the Atlantic in this spellbinding YA romance. After missing her flight to London by a measly four minutes, 17-year-old Hadley Sullivan considers skipping her father’s wedding altogether. When she’s finally booked a new flight, she’s feeling understandably lousy—until she meets a charming 18-year-old British Yale student named Oliver. In a thrilling twist of fate, they end up sitting next to each other on the plane, giving their meet-cute an opportunity to slowly transform into something more dizzyingly sweet and profound. This dreamy novel paints a gorgeous portrait of two souls who meet during the most heartrending trips of their young lives and find each other in the process. If you’re searching for a romance with major emotional depth, look no further than The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In a fast-paced and entertaining novel with a superlatively romantic premise, 17-year-old Hadley misses her flight to London, where her father is marrying the woman he left their family for, but she unexpectedly may have found true love in the process. When Hadley meets charming Oliver at the gate, they instantly connect and bond during her new flight. They even share a kiss in the customs line, but Hadley loses sight of him afterward. Now, she has to survive being a bridesmaid, contend with her feelings about her father's new life, and figure out how to find Oliver before she returns to the U.S. the next day. Hadley is rushing through most of this book, and readers will gladly race alongside her. But they'll also savor cinematic moments, like a touching heart-to-heart conversation between Hadley and her father on the dance floor. Smith (You Are Here) balances Hadley's dual relationship dramas well, and while the story wraps up neatly, readers will be as caught up as Hadley is by the physical and emotional distances she traverses.
