The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith

Summary: "Hadley and Oliver fall in love on the flight from New York to London, but after a cinematic kiss they lose track of each other at the airport until fate brings them back together on a very momentous day."

Even though this is described as a love story between teenagers, in reality, it is a love between family, specifically a father and his estranged daughter. Hadley's father divorced her mother after moving to London to teach at Oxford. He has found a new love, and invited Hadley to his wedding. It is on her flight to London to attend the wedding that Hadley meets Oliver. But her constant flashbacks, fears and worries all center around her strained relationship with her father. As a daughter who can relate to a complicated father-daughter relationship, I was in awe of how raw and real Hadley's emotions were throughout the book.
