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


I am a sucker for any sort of Chick Lit...especially romance.  This book reminded me a lot of the the movie Serendipity with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsdale.  The main character doesn't want to go to her dad's wedding in London.  She's still ticked off that he left her and her mother for another woman. She's afraid that her whole life is being replaced and that she's lost her father.  She misses her flight and meets a cute, British guy at the airport who is on her new flight, and in fact, the same seating row.  They talk the whole flight and are incredibly honest with each other.  They have a strong connection.  Somehow in the chaos of the deboarding, they lose each other...are they lost to each other forever? 

I did like the book.  I spent a Saturday morning enjoying my read.  The book is engaging and the plot moves along at a nice pace.  However, it is very predictable, which a lot of chick lits are...but I had fun and was able to relax and enjoy the ride.  So, while it's not an omelet kind of book.  I would totally give it the scrambled egg ranking.  I would recommend this book for 7th grade and up...not because of sex (which there is none), it's just more mature themes (adultry, death of parent, romance)
