The Buzz...About Books

It's a story as old as time–boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy begins a Twitter campaign to get her back and they live happily ever after.

Irishman Jamie Kelly was seated next to Canadian Katie Moreau on a flight from Barcelona to Dublin. They quickly discovered they had a lot in common and were smitten by the time the flight ended. Unfortunately in the chaos of disembarking, the pair were separated and never had a chance to exchange information. Jamie harnessed the power of the Twitterverse in his search using hashtags #findkatie and #loveatfirstflight. His efforts were publicized in Canada where Katie's sister helped reconnect the couple.
