Also, at some point, she’s going to have to wear an awful dress, and she’s going to have to interact with the stepmother she’s determined to hate even though the stepmother seems to be falling all over herself to try to connect with Hadley and help her feel included and valued. If she’s very lucky, she might still make it to the wedding – but first she must overcome travel obstacles and a case of claustrophobia that makes flying torture. Hadley misses her flight, meets Oliver, and winds up sitting by him on the plane to London. Hadley and her mom live in the US and Hadley’s Dad lives in the UK, where he’s about to get remarried.

Hadley is seventeen and her parents divorced fairly recently (about a year or before the book starts, if I remember correctly). Statistical is told from the point of view of the heroine, Hadley, who meets Oliver in an airport. It turns out that it’s not very geeky, but it’s a cute YA that is entertaining and sweet. I picked up The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight because with a title like that I figured it must be geek-friendly.
