Hadley Sullivan is having a really bad day. She just missed her flight to London to attend her father's wedding and now may not make it in time, which she might not actually mind. She's been angry with him ever since he left her and her mother for another woman in he met while teaching at Oxford. As fate would have it, she is now on the same flight as London native,Oliver, who is returning home for an event of his own. The two of them strike up conversation while waiting for their flight, then end up sitting together on the plane as well. They seem to understand each other and help each other work through their feelings on what they are heading towards on their separate journeys. The story takes place during one long day in which both of their lives are dramatically changed.
I found the love story to be cute, but the most emotional parts of this book for me were the scenes in which Hadley was opening up to her father finally. I liked that the main focus wasn't just on the love connection, but also on these two working through difficult family issues. Those were the more poignant parts for me personally because they were written in such a way that you felt the awkwardness and pain, but also the possibility of moving beyond and letting go.
This was a really fast read and if you're in the mood for a cute and fluffy romance, this is the book for you. If you've been in a reading slump or have just finished an epic fantasy and need something on the lighter side to get you back reading again, I would highly recommend this one.
