Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything?
Today should be one of the worst days of Hadley's life. Her father is getting married in London to a woman she's never even met, and she's just missed her flight.
Hadley has never believed in destiny or fate before. But, stuck at the airport in New York, today is also the day she meets Oliver. He's British. He's cute. And he's on her new flight.
Set over twenty-four hours, Hadley and Oliver's story will make you believe that true love finds you when you're least expecting it.

she's been in love with her best friend, Teddy, for the last three
years. When she buys him a lottery ticket for his birthday and he
wins 32 million dollars, they are thrown together with the world at
their feet. Teddy decides that he will spend his money committing
random acts of kindness, and who better to go on that adventure
with him than Alice? In the process they get to know themselves and
each other better than they ever have before, but money can't buy
you love . . . Windfall is a tender and uplifting novel about love,
luck, and big life changes, from Jennifer E. Smith.
'A pitch-perfect story about the ways we recover love in the
strangest places' REBECCA SERLE An indie musician reeling from
tragedy reconnects with her estranged father on a week-long cruise
in this tale of grief, fame, and love from bestselling author
Jennifer E. Smith. Greta James's rise to indie stardom was
hard-won. Before she graced magazine covers and played to sold out
venues, she spent her girlhood practicing her guitar in the family
garage, full of big dreams and determination. Her first fan was her
mother, Helen, who always encouraged Greta to follow her heart. But
her father, Conrad, was less supportive; he saw only a precarious
road ahead for his daughter, and always pushed her to make more
practical choices. Greta has spent her life trying to prove him
wrong. But three months after her mother's sudden death and an
onstage meltdown that went viral for all the wrong reasons, Greta
reluctantly agrees to accompany her father on the week-long Alaskan
cruise her parents had booked to celebrate their fortieth
anniversary. It could be their last chance to heal old wounds and
forge a new relationship in the wake of such loss. But the trip
will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, as well
as for Ben Wilder, a historian also struggling with a major
upheaval in his life. As Greta works to build back her confidence,
and Ben confronts an uncertain future, they find themselves relying
on each other to make sense of life's difficult, unexpected
choices. And in the end, Greta must face the biggest challenge of
all: can she find a way back to her music while also making peace
with those who love her? HEAR WHAT EVERYONE IS SAYING ABOUT

'Jennifer E. Smith always manages to make you fall in love' 5*
reader review Owen lives in the basement. Lucy lives on the 24th
floor. But when the power goes out in the midst of a New York
heatwave, they find themselves together for the first time: stuck
in a lift between the 10th and 11th floors. As they await help,
they start talking... The brief time they spend together leaves a
mark. And as their lives take them to Edinburgh and San Francisco,
to Prague and to Portland they can't shake the memory of the time
they shared. Postcards cross the globe when they themselves can't,
as Owen and Lucy experience the joy - and pain - of first love. And
as they make their separate journeys in search of home, they
discover that sometimes it is a person rather than a place that
anchors you most in the world. Praise for Jennifer E. Smith

'Warm, funny, and bursting with heart' Rebecca Serle 'Beautiful,
moving, hopeful' Emily Stone Greta James is adrift. Literally. Just
after the sudden death of her mother - her most devoted fan - and
weeks before the launch of her high-stakes second album, Greta
James falls apart on stage. The footage quickly goes viral and she
stops playing. Greta's career is suddenly in jeopardy - the kind of
jeopardy her father, Conrad, has always warned her about. Months
later, Greta - still heartbroken and very much adrift - reluctantly
agrees to accompany Conrad on the Alaskan cruise her parents had
booked to celebrate their fortieth anniversary. It could be their
last chance to heal old wounds in the wake of shared loss. But the
trip will also prove to be a voyage of discovery for them both, and
for Ben Wilder, a charming historian who is struggling with a major
upheaval in his own life. In this unlikeliest of places - at sea
and far from the packed venues where she usually plays - Greta must
finally confront the heartbreak she's suffered, the family hurts
that run deep, and how to find her voice again. 'Gorgeous,
heartfelt' Amanda Eyre Ward 'Thoughtful and tender and true'
Janelle Brown 'Filled with music, passion, and love of all kinds'
Jill Santopolo 'A total delight!' Christine Pride 'Full of hope . .
. vibrant' Linda Holmes

'Utterly romantic' Jenny Han, bestselling author of To All the Boys
I've Loved Before. A delicious meet-cute romance about luck, love
and serendipity from Jennifer E. Smith, author of Windfall and The
Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. It's the perfect
idea for a romantic week together: travelling across America by
train. But then Hugo's girlfriend dumps him. Her parting gift: the
tickets for their long-planned last-hurrah-before-uni trip. Only,
it's been booked under her name. Non-transferable, no exceptions.
Mae is still reeling from being rejected from USC's film school.
When she stumbles across Hugo's ad for a replacement Margaret
Campbell (her full name!), she's certain it's exactly the adventure
she needs to shake off her disappointment and jump-start her next
film. A cross-country train trip with a complete stranger might not
seem like the best idea. But to Mae and Hugo, both eager to escape
their regular lives, it makes perfect sense. What starts as a
convenient arrangement soon turns into something more. But when
life outside the train catches up with them, can they find a way to
keep their feelings for each other from getting derailed? Jennifer
E. Smith's YA novel Field Notes on Love is a heart-warming love
story about grabbing opportunities and trusting your instincts.
If fate sent you an email, would you answer?
When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town
girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two
seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable
correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for
their names or backgrounds.
Then Graham finds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect
location for his latest film, and he decides to take their
relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as
Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like
Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at
all costs?
"What if you had the power to control the weather?"
What starts as an ordinary summer turns exciting and perilous for
twins Ruby and Simon when strange occurrences begin happening on
their farm -- sudden gusts of wind, rainstorms, and even tornado
warnings -- that seem eerily timed to Simon's emotions.
Then a stranger arrives and tells the twins that Simon is a Storm
Maker -- part of a clandestine group of people entrusted with
controlling and taming the weather -- and that he is in great
danger. Soon Simon and Ruby must race against the clock as they try
to master Simon's powers in time to stop a rogue Storm Maker's
treacherous and potentially deadly plans.
In this thrilling new adventure, loyalties can shift as quickly as
the wind . . . and the ordinary can turn extraordinary in the blink
of an eye.
