Book Review: Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight

Making book reviews now! And it's quite really fun, finding quotes while reading so that you have something to put on for your next blog post, jotting down that page of that iconic quote, lol, it's really my thiiing now. Anyways, Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer Smith is a superb love book, second most favorite romance book, ((Everyday being first lol)) since I love the thing that Hadley and Oliver met on an airport and then the magic, the connection, the love ((not to mention their crazy talks and the fly-animal)), of the story begins. Wish I could meet someone on an airport too and travel somewhere together. I like the whole book! Every chapter (time) was worth the read and the awesome connections being told gaah. What I don't like about the book is that, the author is the one who's talking, and in my thoughts, it should have been Hadley and Oliver, but still, it's a great great great book! 


"In the end, it's not the changes that will break your heart; it's that tug of familiarity"

"When you're on the other side of it, fifty-two years can seem like about fifty-two minutes. Just like when you're young and in love, a seven-hour plane ride can seem like a lifetime."

Oliver: "Those are the cumulus clouds. Did you know that?"
Hadley: "I'm sure I should"
Oliver: "They're the best ones.
Hadley: "How come?"
Oliver: "Because they look the way clouds are supposed to look, the way you draw them when you're a kid. Which is nice, you know? I mean, the sun never looks the way you drew it"

"Love is the strangest, most illogical thing in the world"

"Love isn't supposed to make sense. It's completely illogical"

Oliver: "That whole plane ride, you didn't realize my father just died. You know why? Because I was with you"

"People who meet in airports are seventy-two percent more likely to fall for each other than people who meet anywhere else"

"Did you know that people who meet at least three different times within a twenty-four hour period are ninety-eight percent more likely to meet again?"

"No one is useless in this world, who lightens the burden of it for any one else"

"Her phone is still pressed to her ear, and she listens to it ring across the ocean, over the wires, around the globe, looking on as the groom's hand searches out the bride's so that their fingers are braided together. It's a small gesture, but there's something meaningful about it, the two of them stepping into the world as one"

"And O, there are days in this life, worth life and worth death"

Call me cheesy but these lines, once you read them on the book, are way cool that could make you create a big smile on your face.  

Au Revoir!

Book Review: Every day

Since I finished reading John Green books lately, I have been downloading e-books and buying books from David Levithan now! David's kind of writing is complicated, for me, meaning, he uses unusual words and hard/complex ones. He writes deep and has been making good characters (different characters, not like Green who uses a boy ((always shy)) and a different plot not the type of story where this boy-is-the-main-character-and-then-meets-a-girl-and-live-happy). Levithan makes a good ending! And I hate him for making a good one at Every Day. The story which revolved around A, he changes into a new man every single day since his birth. His life changed when he met Rhiannon, then every day, he would meet Rhiannon in a different persona. The story ended with, him leaving Rhiannon to man so much like him and he traveled to look for the others like his. It's my favorite book now, since The Fault in our Stars. Goddam ending. It made me scream. Literally screamed. 



Here are some of the quotes from the book that I really loved (not really quotes since there are some paragraphs that I really really liked):

"This is what love does: It makes you want to rewrite the world. It makes you want to choose the characters, build the scenery, guide the plot. The person you love sits across from you, and you want to do everything in your power to make it possible, endlessly possible. And when it's just the two of you, alone in a room, you can pretend that this is how it is, this is how it will be."

"I have to remind myself that normal people feel this way too: The desire to take a moment and make it last forever. The desire to stay like this for much longer than it will really last."

A to Rhiannon: "We're going to get through this. Every relationship has a hard part at the beginning. This is our hard part. It's not like a puzzle piece where there's an instant fit. With relationships, you have to shape the pieces on each end and before they go perfectly together"

"She is my first and only love. Most people know that their first love will not be their only love. But for me, she is both. This will be the only chance I give myself. This will never happen again."

"When you live as I do, you cannot indulge in jealousy. If you do, it will rip you apart." (Now this is what you call a quote Nico! haha)

Au Revoir!
