She overreacts and becomes one of the most annoying teenagers in young adult literature. This adds a very realistic quality to the writing style, making it easy for a reader to connect.Ĭharacter: The main character, Hadley Sullivan, is a moody seventeen-year-old. It brings to focus the little things, the things a teenager would think about, which adds a unique voice to the story. Writing: The writing has the style of an inner monologue. Still, because of the style of book and emphasis on character interactions, the world-building isn’t necessary and would add as more of a distraction than an input. Yet none of the scenes are given enough detail to truly envision them.

There are names of locations within the real world. World: The world is not well developed in this book. These allow for an engaging story that can’t easily be put down. The entire story takes place over a course of twenty-four hours and each scene offers up important information or well-designed character interaction. Unfortunately, this offers up a lot of teen angst and whiney inner monologue. Though, the narration stays with seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan for the majority of the book. ‘The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight’ is written in third person present tense with omniscient point of view. A long night on the plane passes in a blink, but the two lose track in arrival chaos. Hadley Sullivan 17 misses her flight at JFK airport, is late to her father’s second wedding in London with never-met stepmother.
