At First SightThis novel was the kind of romance where you would find love at first sight (from the title it self). Lauren finds herself at a planetarium for a field trip, she never believed in love, boys, opposite from her best friend Britt who sleeps with them and hooks up with most of them. When she finds a boy that she finds attractive she decided to just walk up to him and talk to him, but something goes wrong. In the novel At First Sight, find out Lauren's adventures on how and if love can really come from first sight.Beautiful and humorous book that I read from the romantic comedies series. Definitely fast and adventurous too. “Britt is always on my case about being too cautious, she wants me to actually create every over-the-top outfit I sketch, no matter how wild or weird, and then wear it to school just to see what happens. But unlike her, I’m not a just-to-see-what-happens kind of girl. I prefer to test the waters first.” - Lauren doesn’t believe in love at first sight. She leaves that kind of thing to her best friend Britt, who claims to ‘feel sparks’ for about half of the boys she meets. So while Lauren has a new boy on the hook every two weeks or so, Lauren has only had two real boyfriends, like EVER. All of which only makes what happened at the planetarium even stranger. The planetarium, where Lauren took one look at a boy and ‘ping’, there it was, instant connection. Of course, she didn’t even get his name, so that should be the end of it. Then Britt finds this über-romantic FaceBook post from a boy named Riley who is looking for his ‘Planetarium Girl’ and IT’S HIM. Lauren is totally psyched because it looks like she’s going to get a chance to explore the ‘ping’ after all. Of course, she didn’t plan on all the impostors who took one look at Riley’s romantic message and decided to claim that they were “Planetarium Girl,’ or for Riley, who is happy to meet a ‘new music buddy’ but absolutely refuses to believe that Lauren is “Planetarium Girl.’ Doesn’t he still feel the connection? What’s a girl to do?At its core, At First Sight is a romance in the ‘girl finds boy, girl loses boy, girl finds boy again’ mode, with just a bit of a twist. It’s pretty standard fare for the Simon Romantic Comedies, although it is better written than most. I should point out, however, that while At First Sight is light, calling it a comedy is stretching things a bit. The point with romances like this is not ‘how is it going to turn out,’ because you pretty much know the answer to that question as soon as you read the blurb on the back cover. No, the point is, ‘how does the book get to the happy ending.’ At First Sight gets there via a lightweight and breezy story and leaves you feeling happily satisfied.
