This was such a sweet book. I haven't read contemporary fiction in awhile but I just loved the concept of meeting on a plane to London and falling in love in 24 hours. I'm glad that it was this book was the first contemporary novel that I've picked up after a long hiatus. 
 Hadley's father had gotten the opportunity to teach at Oxford for a semester, but when the semester was over, he never came back. Fast forward to the present and Hadley is on her way to her father's wedding to a woman she's never met. She misses her flight to London and has to wait for the next flight, putting her very close to missing her father's wedding. The new flight sits her next to Oliver, a British boy she met while waiting for her second flight. He's her constant companion during the flight but after they pass through customs, they're separated and do not have the chance to say goodbye. Told over a 24-hour period, Hadley will find love with Oliver and come to terms with her relationship with her father. 
 For me, there was something about Hadley that made her different from other female leads in YA. No one is as bad as Bella Swan, but a lot of times I find the leads to be a little too self absorbed and whiny. But even though Hadley had a huge disdain for her father, instead of being annoyed by her frustrations and complaints, I actually understood them and felt for her even though I've never been in her position. As her reactions and relationships with the other characters grow, I changed my perception of them as Hadley was. I think she was a very well-written character. 
 And then there is Oliver. Let's just say that I wish I could meet an Oliver in the airport. He was so comforting and funny even though he was facing his own obstacles that brought him home to London. He and Hadley go very well together and he always helps her grow as a person in just 24 hours. 
 I really recommend this book. It was so amazing and I hope to read more from this author.
