I admit I was a little bored with Hadley's inner turmoil and skimmed a lot of this book, but what I did actually read (anything involving dialogue or Oliver) was pretty cute and entertaining. The turmoil bits are about Hadley's difficulty with her parents' divorce, but I thought the author made it pretty easy for Hadley to work through it. The book takes place over 24 hours, so the character growth can seem a little unrealistic. Whatever. You're reading this book to fantasize about falling for a cute boy on a long flight. (

Book description

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
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.
