It’s funny how life can change in four minutes, or at least how Hadley’s did. In The Statistical Probability Of Love At First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith, Hadley is four minutes late for the plane to her father’s wedding in London. Yet, this is NOT the tragedy it seems, because she’s put on the […]
Possess Gretchen McNeil Book Review
January 3, 2012
