Living in Germany gives me the perfect opportunity to compare original covers with the ones German publishers choose. Sometimes they're gorgeous, sometimes they make me cringe, but it's always interesting to see different covers for the same novel.
Cover Comparisons is a weekly feature here at Fictional Distraction.

First I probably should mention how much I love The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and if you haven't read it yet, go ahead and buy a copy right now! I also really like its covers, although my favorite is definitely the new UK hardcover copy (which is also what I have sitting on my shelf). While it's almost identical to the US cover, I love the bluish tint to it, which makes it look a little bit more alive. The old UK cover is okay, but it doesn't really look like a Young Adult novel, but more like a Chick Lit one. The UK paperback cover looks really cute and is probably going to make a lot of readers pick it up, because it looks like a perfect summer read. I'm not really sure about the German cover though - it is definitely unique with its muted colors and pretty, but I'm not exactly sure whether it'd catch my eye in a store.
Let me know which version you voted for and why?!
