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


4 out of 5 stars

This book delves into the possibility in falling in love over a 24 hour period.  What I liked about this was that the book showed how two people can  have that instant connection.  That is certainly possible, I know, I’ve experienced it.  But…

The following discussion is SPOILERISH (Jump to the end to avoid spoilers) for those worried:
This book takes the honest route that this doesn’t mean they would have follow Disney’s Enchanted’s example. 

I’m referring to this sequence of dialogue in particular (And I’m going by memory so it may not be perfect):

Giselle: Oh, it’s you.

Edward: Yes, it’s me.  And you are?

Giselle: Giselle.

Edward: Oh Giselle!  We shall be married in the morning!

The book ended on the possibility of a relationship, that they were going to give it a shot.  And I really liked that. 

What docked points for me was that Oliver’s main plot twist wasn’t even the least bit a surprise. 

END OF SPOILERS

I liked how Hadley and Oliver had different things to offer to the table.  Their interaction is entertaining, fun, and sweet and made for a quick, breezy read that I thoroughly enjoyed.
