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

In The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight , two teens meet and spend a period of 24 hours together; which leads to an incredible series of events. They share secrets, histories, and family stories. They lose each other and (spoiler alert) find each other again—twice. Statistical Probability shows how being 4 minutes can lead to events that can change two peoples’ life forever, and how through meeting that one special person, you can mend relationships with your estranged father; start a relationship with your soon-to-be stepmother; let go of bad memories of your late father and move forward; and even how, through a wedding and a funeral, two people can find each other and start a relationship that looks like it will last for a while. I saw Statistical Probability in the bookstore a few months ago, and I was initially worried about whether it would live up to my expectations after building it up for weeks, but luckily, this amazing book lived up to and exceeded all hopes I had for it. I absolutely fell in love with Hadley and Oliver and rooted for them and their budding relationship. I hope to read more books by Jennifer E. Smith, and would recommend this to anyone who loves reading a quirky young-adult love story. - Erin (Sunset Teen)
