Seeing as the book is quite short in length, it was a very light read. I was expecting the basis of the book to be held at the airport and on the flight which is was but it also included the event Hadley was attending, so maybe the summary and the cover were quite misleading for me!
Let's start off with the character's, we begin with Hadley missing her flight by four minutes and she just so happens to get friendly with a boy called Oliver, who is going to the same destination as her. Hadley from what I could tell is quite a troubled young person struggling through the heartache of a divorce that tore her family apart, so she herself has a lot of issues to deal with, but when she meets Oliver all her troubles disappear and it makes her feel whole again almost as if he radiates the warmth from her.
Sometimes I would find Hadley annoying because she wouldn't opening speak her mind and would rather stay silent to make a point rather than to be honest. But I guess thats what character development is for as she finally tells her dad about how the divorce affected her after all these years.
Oliver appears as the rescuer at the airport saving Hadley in a time of need, a true gentleman helping with her luggage and keeping her company. Though it seems to be throughout the whole course of the book that Oliver was keeping a dark secret all along and it isn't revealed until over halfway.
Hadley and Oliver have great chemistry throughout and bring out the better sides of one another.
All in all an enjoyable standalone to read to pass the time, which helps if you get readers block!
