This was a really cute story. The two main characters really had a lot of growing to do with and without each other and even though their romance seemed like an impossible feat coming from two entirely different worlds it was really fun taking the journey with them. Graham is a movie star with a pet pig and is sending an email to a friend to watch his pet but one letter off in the email address and he then is linked to Ellie. A small town girl living in Maine. They began a friendship writing back and forth until Graham has to go to location to film his next movie and ends up in the same town as Ellie. I personally am a sucker for these teen romance novels and this one is probably one of my favorites. Jennifer Smith can really paint a picture and makes you keep turning the page to make sure the love of Ellie and Graham doesn't just diminish because of Grahams profession. It was really adorable.

You know what happy doesn't look like? It's the ending to the book, Jennifer, if you read this, I just want to say that you could have ended this SO much better.

I truly loved the books original storyline, but once she went to meet her dad, it was probably the most anticlimactic thing I've ever seen. The book probably would have been better off without it.

I just... What even was that ending? Do all authors decide to build up the ending and just flop? Is that their go-to ending?

I just don't know how to feel about that ending.

I really enjoyed reading this book. The story was cute and the characters were too, but it was a typical love story. I gave this 4 out of 5 stars because it took me so long to read and that I couldn't really get into the story as much as I wanted to. It wasn't boring to me as it is to some people, but it wasn't action-packed.
