The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight
by Jennifer E. Smith
I picked this up as part of one of my library's "Blind Date With a Book" display and am happy to report that I am glad I did as I likely would have passed it up otherwise. It is a short quick read, as it took me less than 24 hours to finish it, and the story itself is short taking place in less than 24 hours. However I felt drawn into Hadley's story and how she came to realize that her family situation wasn't as bad as she thought it was and that there were worse things in the world. To say more would lead to spoiler territory so I won't expand too much on it.
While this story is touted as a love one, from the title alone, it is also a reconcillation story between Hadley and her Dad as well as her Mom. It is her learning to adjust to changes that she may not have wanted but that she can learn to live with. The story of Oliver and her's friendship that moved into a romance developed at a believable pace and left me with a warm feeling. What can I say I am sucker for romances, which isn't to say I love them all but this was a sweet innocent one which are ones I like. I am surprised that this didn't receive more recognition when it was published, as I was surprised to find that it was published in 2012 and this was the first I heard of it. I would recommend this if you are a fan of YA as it is perfect for a quick read on a weekend day, no matter the weather.
