Teaser Tuesday | The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

 

 

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan’s life. She’s stuck at JFK, late to her father’s second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon to be step-mother that Hadley’s never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport’s cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he’s British, and he’s in seat 18B. Hadley’s in 18A.

Twists of fate and quirks of timing play out in this thoughtful novel about family connections, second chances and first loves. Set over a 24-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver’s story will make you believe that true love finds you when you’re least expecting it.[/box]

 

“Do you know what you’d like?”

Do I know what I’d like? Hadley thinks. 

She’d like to go home.

She’d like for home to be the way it once was. 

She’d like to be going anywhere but her father’s wedding. 

She’d like to be anywhere but this airport. 

She’d like to know his name. 

After a moment, she looks up at him.

“Not yet,” she says.  “I’m still deciding.”

~ p. 22, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith
