The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith-4 Stars




This was a book that made me happy. It reduced me to a teenager again, a giddy teenager even. It reminded me of why I love to read contemporary YA even though I don't often get around to reading it (because the fantasy and sci-fi books distract me a little too well at times, but I love all the genres equally!). The plot was a little predictable (except for the big twist with Oliver's reason for coming home. Did not see that coming) but that in no way distracted from how much I enjoyed this book. It was light, quick reading but it still had depth that kept it from being pure fluff. I loved the interaction between Hadley and Oliver, especially their ease with one another that was juxtaposed with their uncertainly about the attraction they flirt and the flirtation that followed. I also loved Oliver's sense of humour, but I especially empathized with Hadley's conflicted feelings towards her father. I read this book in about two days because I was just so eager to reach the happy ending I knew was coming. A thoroughly enjoyable book for anyone looking for a sweet and mostly uncomplicated love story.
