"A gorgeous, heartwarming reminder of the power of fate... an endearing and lushly written account of how it feels to fall in love, the unique heartbreak of parental disappointment and what it means to forgive those who've hurt us deeply." ( The New York Times Book Review ).

"A fast-paced and entertaining novel with a superlatively romantic premise...readers will be as caught up as Hadley is by the physical and emotional distances she traverses."
( PW ).

"A closely observed, ultimately moving tale of love, family and otherwise....Smith's acute insights make Hadley's heartache and loss as real as the magical unfurling of new love."
( Kirkus ).

"The teens are realistic and empathetic characters, and their story unfolds effortlessly, quickly capturing readers' interest. Fans of Sarah Dessen will enjoy this enchanting novel of family quandaries and love at first sight."
( SLJ ).

"A falling-in-love story as comfortable as an old sofa, and those looking for pages that turn easily will find a good candidate here."
( Booklist ).

"The elegant, poignant story is written primarily in present tense, giving the novel a cinematic effect and intensifying Hadley's roller-coaster emotions over the twenty-four-hour period. Hadley is a determined, thoughtful protagonist who, given little bits of luck, isn't afraid to create her own destiny. She anchors this bittersweet-mostly sweet-consideration of loss, marriage, fate, and love."
( The Horn Book ).

"An extraordinary look at chance, connections, and the power of family and love, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight will make your heart sing."
(Elizabeth Scott, author of Between Here and Forever and Something, Maybe).

"This phenomenal depiction of an instant connection shows that everything happens for a reason. Smith's unique story will make you contemplate the magic of fate. I've been waiting for a love story like this forever." (Susane Colasanti, bestselling author of So Much Closer and When It Happens).

"Romantic and wise, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight is a must-read. And the second you meet Oliver, you're going to pray you miss your next flight."
(Sarah Mlynowski, author of Ten Things We Did (and Probably Shouldn't Have) ).

"Romantic, witty and real - it is a statistical certainty that you will love this book."  (Margaret Stohl, bestselling author of the Beautiful Creatures novels ).

Praise for The Comeback Season (S&S Childrens, May 2008):
"Smith deftly twines strands of grief, romance, baseball, family and friendships lost...the present tense narrative has an immediacy that will engage readers and the supporting case is unusually vivid." (Booklist).

"But even though Smith's clean, uncomplicated prose and gently told story are more Sarah Dessen than Chris Crutcher, both romantics and sports fans alike will find something here to like." (Kirkus).

". . . scenes of genuine emotional power and language of sometimes breathtaking beauty and clarity. While her novel is less than a total success, Smith is clearly a writer with extraordinary gifts, from whom great things should be expected." (SLJ).

Praise for You Are Here (S&S Childrens, May 2009):
"Smith's coming-of-age story, told intermittently through the eyes of both Emma and Peter, is remarkably insightful, heart-wrenchingly sad and laugh-out-loud funny." (Bookpage).

"Sparkly dialogue and a great setting make this a Nora Ephron-esque treat."

(Elle Magazine (UK edition)).

"This irresistible novel seems set to become one of the most talked about books of the year - think David Nicholls' One Day meets TV's 24... a brilliantly conceived read."

(Glamour Magazine (UK Edition)).
