Smith’s writing style is very casual and easy to read. They swap stories of their best and worst family memories and find more and more in common the closer they get to England. He and his dad have a rocky past, and it’s one of the things he and Hadley bond over during their flight. Hadley has barely spoken to him since he and her mother got divorced, and she refuses to forgive him for leaving. Hadley’s dad is marrying the woman he left her mother for a year before the book begins.
While the main plot was romance-driven, this book had some surprisingly deep subplots. They end up losing track of each other without trading contact information, leaving Hadley to wonder if she will ever see Oliver again and if something that felt meant-to-be could really be over as quickly as it began. They spend the transatlantic flight talking nonstop and having a series of cute-verging-on-romantic moments, but when they land, they get separated at customs. This ends up working in her favor, because she gets a seat on a later flight and meeting Oliver, a Yale freshman who is returning to London for a family event. Seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan is supposed to be flying from New York to London for her father’s wedding, but she misses her flight by four minutes. Like most books or movies that fall into the “romantic comedy” genre, “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight” begins with a guy and a girl meeting in a cute way. “The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight” by Jennifer E.
Once every few weeks, there comes a book that is slightly cheesy and predictable, but adorable nonetheless.
