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

The Statisticality of Love at First Sight (oh wait, that's not it)...
The Probability of Love at First Sight...(nope...that's not it either!)
Hmm...I got it!
The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight! Whew!
I got it!

What a love title right??!!


But let me just tell you that title was the seriously the reason why I bought this book! Just look at it! Isn't it great!? Especially for a romantic like me!! :)

And let me just say...I am SO GLAD I BOUGHT THIS BOOK!!

Before I go into why, let me tell you a bit about the book:

Hadley is heading to London...for her father's wedding.  She hasn't seen him in about a year, and she definitely has never met his future wife.  And she's definitely not interested in doing so.  But does she have a choice?
Nope.
Her mom has sent her to London.

And she misses her flight by four minutes!
Those four minutes change everything!
If it wasn't for those four minutes Hadley would never have met Oliver...the cute British Yale Student on his way to London for an important occasion.

One thing leads to another, Hadley and Oliver get talking, and end up sitting together on the airplane...and the next 24 hours seem to go on forever...



WOW. This book was beautiful!
And after the MANY rave reviews I've read on Goodreads, I have to agree with everyone, this is not your average 24 hour romance! Hadley and Oliver's journey felt so realistic!  As I was reading this book, it felt like a movie was playing in my head by the same style as When Harry Met Sally or You've Got Mail (two of all time favorite movies!), which is one of the best feelings while reading a great book! :)


Overall rating:

I highly recommend this one, if you haven't read!  I personally, bought it mainly because the title caught my eyes, and it definitely didn't disappoint! :)

    This is on my to-read list but it's been on the back burner b/c of all my review copies. Any chance you'll be doing a giveaway? :)

      Lol, no sorry not on this one. I usually don't buy any books for giveaways. I'm to selfish for that. If I do giveaways its thanks to an awesome author!! :)

    I love When Harry Met Sally and I'm pretty sure I'll love this, given that the reviews have been so good. I'm just waiting for my local library to get a copy of it on the shelves.

      It's super cute! And I hope you get the chance to read it! Does your library allow you to order books from other libraries in your area??

Marriage Vacation by Pauline Turner Brooks (aka Jo Piazza)

Hey Everyone! I finished another book!  I bought this one along with Shrill , when I found an Amazon Books store in NYC last week! I cannot believe I already finished both in less than a week, when I hadn't finished a single book since last July! From Goodreads : In season four of Darren Star's hit TV Land series Younger , the editors of Empirical Press are shocked and deeply moved when they read Marriage Vacation , an autobiographical novel by the publisher's estranged wife, Pauline Turner Brooks.  Knowing the book will cause a sensation, they decide they must publish it.  Now you can read what the hype is about. To find herself...she might lose everything. By all appearances, Kate Carmichael had the perfect life: two adorable daughters, a pre-war town house on the Upper East Side, and a husband who ran one of the most successful publishing companies in New York.  But when Kate attends the wedding of two of her oldest friends, and reconnect...

The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick

I saw the movie Hugo (directed by Martin Scorsese) right before the New Year.  Let me back track, and let you know that usually I am NOT a fan of Oscar movies.  If I'm being honest, I find them to be boring.  However, this year has seemed to bring quite a few more exceptions than normal.  Among those are: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 , The Help , and Hugo.   I fell in love with Hugo .  I thought it so beautifully done.  The music, the characters, the story.  I found myself crying even at points that wouldn't necessarily make you cry.  I honestly, didn't know the movie was based on a book; but when I found out at the end, I knew I had to read it. The winner of the Children's Caldecott Award, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick is nothing like anything I've ever read.  Normally, when I read I imagine the story that I am reading  unfolding in my head like a movie; but with The Invention of Hugo ...

The Hunger Games Should be BANNED!!

Image
Okay, let me begin by saying, you may find my title misleading...but guess what? It got you to read this post! :) PLEASE CONTINUE READING!! I really think something needs to be known!  The Hunger Games should NOT be allowed in elementary schools!!  In fact, I don't even think it should be allowed in middle school either! This is the whole point to this post! I read the series last year, and enjoyed them.  I thought the story was definitely very original.  I am going to be making a few lists in this post, and here is my first... Pros about The Hunger Games : -original story -great characters -details were great...sometimes a bit too much actually -metaphorically speaking, the message I got out of this book is people are selfish and that they would do anything to survive, and while this isn't a great message, I think it is true about people (at least quite a bit around the world...NOT all!! but quite a few) Cons about The Hunger Games : -I think my #1 c...
