Okay, I'm sorry, but this book was just flat out bad. I heard from multiple people (including a few English teachers) that this is a great book, a must read! So I read it. Boy, do I wish I hadn't.
It was cheesy, the statistical probability of this ever happening in real life is believably low, and I felt like the author was holding my hand through the whole book. It was predictable and it wasn't predictable because I'm 'good at predicting' it was predictable because Jennifer Smith did everything but flat out TELL me what was going to happen next.
I'm not big on ooey gooey romance novels and I'm really not into anything that couldnt happen in real life. That may be my own fault for buying the book in the first place, but my goodness, I did not like it.
Anyone else feel the same way?

This book annoyed me. For one thing, the title is misguided. There was no "love at first sight." Physical attraction, maybe, but not love. And if narrator had just told her father about wanting to go to that funeral, he probably would have put her in a cab. Instead we had an idiot plot where she bumbles her way through an unfamiliar city. So, yes, I agree with you!
