This week’s Book of the Week is a sweet romance about chance meetings and karma. Hadley is seventeen and American, Oliver is eighteen and British. They meet in an airport… The book is The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, by Jennifer E. Smith.

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

 

Today should be one of the worst days of Hadley’s life…

 

Her father is getting married in London to a woman she’s never even met, and she’s just missed her flight.

 

Hadley has never believed in destiny or fate before…

 

But, stuck at the airport in New York, today is also the day she meets Oliver. He’s British. He’s cute. And he’s on her new flight.

My favourite line in the book?

He was … a lover of stories, and he was building her a library in the same way other men might build their daughters houses.
