I have issues. And reviews.

My birthday is in 2 weeks from Wednesday which is kewl. This is what I want for my birthday:

Also, an iPod. Like, seriously! I need an iPod! I don't want it so I could be a hipster of some sorts, I JUST NEED A MUSIC DISTRIBUTING DEVICE that isn't small and annoying and non-shuffle-y. Also, it makes for a pretty good e-reader.
I will not make a June wrap-up because I haven't read that much. I SAY LAZY! But I will totally say what I wanna do reading-related this month! I might or might not participate in the booktube-a-thon. My birthday is in that week, so I'm not so sure. I will finish One by Leigh Ann Kopans, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien and Delirium by Lauren Oliver and also do some moar reading.
Also, I was thinking about my writing. I can't find any motivation and I'm too lazy to write and I hate it because I really wanna write and put my ideas on paper! But, of course, procrastination, you little bitch. Hope I can get a rough outline till the end of the week. (not gonna happen)

I also come here today with a review for you! The book which has the honour of being reviewed by me today is a book which I loved the first time I read it, wanted to throw it out the window the second time. (talk about extremes!) And that book is The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith.

Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?

Today should be one of the worst days of seventeen-year-old Hadley Sullivan's life. Having missed her flight, she's stuck at JFK airport and late to her father's second wedding, which is taking place in London and involves a soon-to-be stepmother Hadley's never even met. Then she meets the perfect boy in the airport's cramped waiting area. His name is Oliver, he's British, and he's sitting in her row.

A long night on the plane passes in the blink of an eye, and Hadley and Oliver lose track of each other in the airport chaos upon arrival. Can fate intervene to bring them together once more?

Quirks of timing play out in this romantic and cinematic novel about family connections, second chances, and first loves. Set over a twenty-four-hour-period, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

I read this first in September, last year, and I just loved it! I read it in 3 days. I really loved it then! But now, I didn't. I couldn't even finish it! I was in a reading slup at the time and that might've been the reason but I started reading The Hobbit while still reading this and I really couldn't go on with reading it.
Now on to the reasons I didn't like it. Before starting this I read a post on Veronica Roth's blog saying that you shouldn't put too much of the character remembering stuff from the past because it might confuse the reader and get him annoyed. And that's mostly what happened to me. I didn't like that the remembering stuff was too much at times. I was also annoyed by the fact that I didn't feel that the reason for Hadley's parents divorce was good enough or that it didn't have a good lead up to it. And I was annoyed how much grudge Hadley was holding! I would too! But she pushed it a bit too far for me. I also hated the 3rd person narration! That narration should be banned for any YA novels! Seriously! It would've been a LOT better if the narration was at 1st person.
However, I loved Oliver! He's such a lovable character! I just adore him! I also thought that they weren't that good for each other. I don't remember quite why I thought this, but I just felt like they weren't that good for each other. They probably were but I was just annoyed with the mass of remembering or father issues.

Well, I hope you liked my review. It was really badly written because it's quite late here and I want to sleep.

Goodbye,
E.
