Publisher Description
Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?Imagine if she hadn't fogotten the book. Or if there hadn't been traffic on the expressway. Or if she hadn't fumbled the coins for the toll. What if she'd run just that little bit faster and caught the flight she was supposed to be on. Would it have been something else - the weather over the atlantic or a fault with the plane? Hadley isn't sure if she believes in destiny or fate but, on what is potentially the worst day of each of their lives, it's the quirks of timing and chance events that mean Hadley meets Oliver... 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.
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.
Customer Reviews
Wow...
Mixed emotions all in one book. One minute I was crying then the next minute I was smiling... This book is really heart warming... I couldn't put it down and now I just wanna see what happens next. In one word I would describe it as beautiful, which is a weird description of a book.

Great book!! Definitely worth a read! Loved it!
:)
After visiting my closest friend after his first semester in University, I can definitely see the truth in the line 'it's not the changes that break your heart, it's the that tug of familiarity'.
The novel deals with relationships, awkwardness and getting over troubles in a charming manner. It feels so honest.
This is a fantastic read, and I'm not sure if it was because I was reding from my iPad in the dark, but this book left a tear in my eye.
