Fifth Book of Christmas: The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Posted by joeytearjerky at 2:53 PM

Okay, I've finished reading this book, days before the big Christmas Day. It's just that I was a bit preoccupied with all the oath taking madness and all the Christmas rush and holiday preparations that’s why I wasn't able to post this right away. And oh, I know this is way too late to make my 12 Books of Christmas Challenge and that I failed to finish it (I was able to read just the 8 of the 12 books I listed for this particular personal dare) I’m gonna do this anyway! :)

Though, lemme just share to you how I find a book interesting even without reading first the blurb on the back cover. Can I do that? Well. You know what really catches my eyes first when I’m out book-hunting? It’s not really the name of the author (though I do that sometimes) but the cover that in fact captures my attention. But in this case, the thing that totally lured me into buying it is guess what? The title. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. What? I can’t help it, ok? I am such a geek like that. Throw in a mathematical term or any big word in the title of a book and I am sold. Goner. Hahaha. You can even check this trivia on my previous book reviews. I totally dig complicated titles (and this one I absolutely absolutely love!!) and so far, they haven’t disappointed me yet. All of the  books that I bought/read because of the sole purpose that they did have unique names, they were all good. Very good even.

Like this one! Can I just reiterate how much I love this book? I super loved it I immediately recommend it to my friends and Twitter followers to read as well! I know, oh I know that the plot is not that complex and that the falling-in-love-in-twenty-four-hours part is too unrealistic BUT what the hell! It really worked for me and not just because I’m swooning over Oliver and his sexy-Bristish-accent-speaking, gorgeous self! :D
The story has a depth and some serious heartbreaking moments in there (and trust me, there are swoon-worthy ones, too!) that will keep you from putting it down. It is literally the cutest thing I’ve ever read (by far) I just don’t want it to end! And I just love how Jennifer E. Smith writes very likeable characters I swear I am but all giddy and butterflies the whole time I was reading this novel --- because their scenes together are just too sweet it was so very hard not to like them --- which is one of the reasons why I so much enjoyed it. I love being invested in the characters and being thrilled when reading the story. Who doesn’t, right? :)
5 stars, 2 thumbs-up and a bazillion likes for TSPoLaFS,
