Synopsis:
Time is a strange thing. And four minutes is an incredibly short time. Nothing, in the scheme of things, not really. But Hadley is exactly four minutes late getting to the airport for her flight to London and her flight just happened to be on time. Flights are notoriously behind and as she's not even keen to go to London for her father's wedding to a woman she's never even met, this doesn't make Hadley thrilled. It makes the walls seem as if they're closing in on her and she knows she has to get away. To get herself out of the stuffy and overcrowded waiting area; so she hauls away her luggage best as she can and makes her way through the thronging people only to start dropping her bags everywhere. Which is when she really meets Oliver. And then she begins to realise that four minutes really can change everything.
Thank you to the Library for buying this book and putting it on their shelves!
What I thought:
This is one of those books you spend months of anxious anticepation wating for... I heard about it about six months ago and had been desperate to read it since, keeping my eye out for copies, finding out who publishes it and recommending it to the library. Then I spent about 3+ weeks waiting for it to arrive after the library bought it and then it arrived. And it was so different from what I expected- I didn't know it was written in third person, which was a really interesting change from all the books written in first and second that I've read recently; I didn't know that part of the book was set on a plane crossing countries. The blurb didn't reveal much to me and so I was in basic darkness when I opened it. And that was fantastic. I loved finding out for myself what happened, not knowing much about it before hand other then the title had been recommended by John Green in one of his vlogs, because Jennifer E. Smith is a fellow nerdfighter. And The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is, apart from having a beautiful title, the best characters and being written by a fantastic writer, is... no, I'll explain it this way.
It is stastically shown that books with Stastistical in the title, set across two countries, involving a plain, a girl, a boy, a wedding, purple material and phone calls, not to mention love, will immediately be loved by me. And so it begins.
Five times five times five stars out of five.

Also, I've been putting Word Verification on and off and it's currently on because I turned it off on a friday and had seven spam comments on a Monday which is not good.
