Britney's Review of This is What Happy Looks Like

This is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

Publication Date: April 2, 2013

Summary: If fate sent you an email, would you answer?

When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O'Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds. 

Then Graham founds out that Ellie's Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media's spotlight at all costs. 

My Rating: 4.75/5 Stars

My Review: 

I had no expectations or anything going into this book. All I knew is that it was about a famous guy sending an ordinary girl an email on accident and I was hoping it was cute. This book did not disappoint me at all! Ellie received an email about somebody talking about his pet pig, and after she responded they struck up a friendship through email. Ellie mentions the city she lives in, and when the original location for the movie Graham is in falls through, he has them move it to Ellie's hometown in Maine. 

It isn't all happy and rainbows and sunshine after that though because Ellie didn't know Graham was famous, and Graham doesn't know a big secret about Ellie's family. Things are not easy between these two, but if they want to stay together then they will have to work for it. 

I enjoyed all the characters so much in this book. Graham was so cute, and I ended up loving him so much. Ellie was not annoying at all, and was just pretty awesome. I would have liked to see more Quinn and Devon though. The reason I gave it a crazy rating of 4.75 was because of how it all ended! I just wanted more, and have some more of my questions answered.
