#12: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith (Dec 10-16)
Ooooh got a read this one! Totally addicted to the title!
I know!!! lol... It was the first thing that made me read the book too :D
Not that I especially love Statistics, it sounds interesting
lol... Are you a math genius or something? I was SO bad at math in high school!!! I hate Statistics :P
I won't call myself a Math Genius, but I love the subject *covers-self* hahaha. It's sort of fun
Awesome :D I have always impressed how some people can understand math that easily.
*clears-throat* It is actually easy. You should try it
Too late, kid. I AM so happy I don't have to face math anymore lol...
I'll read this after exams. :)
Lol! Lucky you don't have to study anymore!
Yay can't wait to read this, it has been on my To Read list for ages!
*DOES NOT CONTAIN SPOILERS-JUST MY OVERVIEW OF THE BOOK*This was truly a great book. I just finished reading it when I found this group and as it turns out I am currently doing a project on it for school. I will paste part of my report onto this, the part of the report where I was asked, "Would you recommend this book to a friend?" Here it is:
I would most definitely recommend this book to a friend, because it is not a huge hard-core, fast paced romance novel. It is sweet and gradual, and Hadley and Oliver’s romance is blooming over time. They’re not rushing into anything, and they don’t even show much affection towards one another. The book is cute and funny, and Hadley and Oliver’s responses and gestures are the same way. Even with the family drama in both of the pairs’ families, it seems almost necessary. I loved the way Hadley and Oliver felt drawn to each other, but not at all intensely. They both went after each other and comforted one another in times of need. I also adored Hadley and her dad’s relationship with each other. It was adorable how he still had reoccurring jokes that he displayed even at his wedding from when Hadley was just a little kid. The relationship and character development throughout the story kept me intrigued the entire time. I congratulate and thank the author on such a smartly-paced tale and for getting so many people other than myself glued to the story. I would give this book five stars, for sure.
Mary, your overview is very nice :) I am so glad you loved it. I read it since the beginning of this year, so the detail is kind of blurry :D One thing I cannot forget is the airport scene :D
I know! No one can forget the airport scene:) I'm happy that you liked the book, too! Thank you!
I guess its only me here who doesnt like this book...!:(
Btw.. What airport scene?
Not only you Deepika. A few of my friends said this book was too cute and a bit boring heheh... But I loved it :)(view spoiler)

The scene where they are going through customs and have their first kiss :)
Oh ok! I think I remember! Does anyone believe in love at first sight?
Not that I have experienced on that myself, but I do believe in that :)
I used not believe in it, but there are many people who have fallen in love like that. So I definitely do believe that it is possible!
I don't believe in love at firt sight actually. I just don't think that anyone can fall in love after like 5 seconds. I believe in love that you know that develops as you get to know the other person.
Of course it is going to develop, but I think you can have a compulsion towards the other person right away. Sort of like you know they're "the One."
Maybe, but I still don't believe in it. I don't believe in soulmates and stuff like that either.

Nothing is impossible :)
Impossible is impossible :D
But the truth when it has actually happened why not believe in it :) Currently reading this!
I read it over the weekend, it was really good!
It was good alright :) Made me smile a lot :D
Yes it was! I thought it was pretty good. But too short, maybe the author should have given us more talks from the plane ride
The plane ride scene was the best :) It should have been longer indeed :D
She should make a sequel :)
It was kinda short for me, so it would be great if she made a sequel :)
Nooooo no sequels!! I was very happy with the mysterious ending :) Maybe companion novel like Anna series but no continuation!

I'm a bit late to the party, but I enjoyed this book. Didn't love-love, but it was a quick, cute read. I too loved the airport scene with them in separate lines, and I was crushed when Oliver wasn't waiting for her. It was very well paced and surprisingly believable for taking place in just one day. And yes, the title is amazing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I finished it a week ago and loved it. I totally want to fall in love at an airport now!
I read this book a few weeks ago. I randomly picked it up at the library without knowing what it was about because that's what I do. I really liked it. For those who want something definitely different than most teen romances that you read, this is a good choice. It's not normally the style I read, but I love how she wrote the book to take place in the span of 24 hours. Good book!

It's completely different from the type of romance novels I usually read!

lol... When I read it, I was thinking "Why won't it ever happen to me when I am at the airport?" XP
Exactlyyl, in fact going to the airport is soooo boring most times!
Harshini WatchMeRead wrote: "Exactlyyl, in fact going to the airport is soooo boring most times!"Yes! Now we are jealous of fictional characters lol... We are SO booknerds!
Uh duh!! I mean sometimes fictional characters get it all...!
lol... You are right! Now I am green with envy.
