This is one of those books that I read during a slow shift at the library -- not the kind of thing I'd usually pick up, but interesting enough to while away some time between helping patrons.
3.5 stars
Peter always wanted to meet a girl on a plane and fall in love. He meets Holly and does just that, but then... he loses her phone number. Fast-forward 12 years, and Peter is engaged to Charlotte, but he's still in love with Holly, who now happens to be married to Peter's best friend, Jonathan.
I liked this. I could have done without most of Peter's work turmoil, though some of that does play into everything else going on a bit later, but not all of it. The book does follow different characters through different parts of the book, which is kind of interesting, so the reader knows what is going on with everyone.… (meer)

I liked this book. This is a book about two people that you hope end up together, but you never know if it will happen. It begins with Peter and Holly meeting on an airplane and falling instantly in love. Peter takes her number, but later finds it gone. So the romance begins. This book takes you through many different areas of Peter's life and the lives of those around him.

I loved the premise of somewhat star-crossed lovers meeting on an airplane but I struggled with almost everything else. To me, the writing seemed stiff and repetitive and the main characters seemed weirdly one dimensional. I felt like I knew more (and more importantly cared more) about the secondary characters than I did about Peter and Holly and I'm not quite sure why. Holly in particular was just "beautiful and good" and we were told that a hundred times.
I suspect that this would be a pretty good chick flick.… (meer)
