Hadley Sullivan has missed her flight to London by four minutes. Not that she's exactly looking forward to going to London. Her father is getting married to a woman whom Hadley has never met, and Hadley is still struggling with the circumstances that led to her parents' break-up.
She's able to book a seat on the next flight. And this changes everything. For on the very same flight, in her very same row, is Oliver, a student at Yale who is flying back home to Great Britain. Talk about connections. Jennifer Smith doesn't hit you over the head with sunshine and butterflies. Hadley and Oliver are falling in love in what seems like the most mundane fashion, yet behind their banter, there is a lot of emotional turmoil going on for each of them. Each of them fills a need for the other, while still remaining their wonderfully likeable selves.
My only real complaint about this book is that it ended too soon! I really found myself cheering for both of these teens.
