"I know. Me too."
"But do you know why?" he asked.
I didn't know. I just felt it inside. "I guess sometimes there isn't a reason for everything." 
"It just is."
"It just is." My heart was beating so hard, he must have been able to hear it. - Pg. 143-144

My teaser this week comes from The Daughters by Joanna Philbin.**
  
I'm almost finished with my current read, so I thought I'd tease myself, and you, with the next book on my pile -- The Daughters!




School started tomorrow, which meant that today they would grab something from Pinkberry, stroll through the West Village, and catch up on their summers - their last-day-of-summer ritual. Since nursery school, Hudson and Carina had been her best friends. Lizzie thought of them as the Brita filters for her life.  Pg. 3

This definitely sounds like a great friendship read. And I kind of need that in my life right now. :) And hey, if Pinkberry is involved, count me in! :)

For my very first Teaser Tuesday (YAY!!!), I have The Statistical Probability of Love At First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith in my hands today!**

"Perhaps the day's collection of delays is beside the point, and if it hadn't been one of those things, it would have just been something else: the weather over the Atlantic, rain in London, storm clouds that hovered just an hour too long before getting on with their day. Hadley isn't a big believer in things like fate or destiny, but then, she's never been a big believer in the punctuality of the airline industry, either."  Pg. 2

Uh, Hadley and I share the same views there! I'm not a pessimist, but boy, she and I are realists! I can't wait to read more!

Let me know if you've read this book and your thoughts! The synopsis sounds so interesting! I really do enjoy books that take place in a short amount of time. So much can happen in 24 hours.
