I am falling in love with this author. She writes believable and sweet.
Graham is a 17 year old movie star who accidentally sends an email to the wrong person, Ellie. The two of them start talking and develop a friendship. but she lives in Maine and he lives in California. Ellie also has no idea that she is talking to the Graham Larkin. When the place where the movie Graham is filming become unavailable he suggest Ellie's home town in Maine. The two meet and nothing goes as it should except that the two of them might have a chance together.
The only thing that I didn't like about the book was that I wanted more at the end. Just a hint that it might work out with them. Everything else was great.

No real huge problems with a lot of book. The only thing is it was pretty typical which I usually don't mind (depending on the characters, plot and so forth). The only thing is that I felt the girl protagonist was trying not to be typical but she didn't convince me. Aside from that however I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
Quick Overview: Our persons of interest are Graham and Ellie. Graham is a mega star and Ellie is a small town girl (from somewhere in Maine). By accidentally sending an e-mail to Ellie, Graham and her strike up a e-mail friendship of sort (but we know it's more than that). When Graham gets the chance to meet Ellie in Maine he makes it happen. So starts a summer they will never forget.
So Graham seems like a great guy in my opinion, no ego or entitlement to be had. The fact that I could feel sorry for a much loved, rich movie stars deserves some praise for the author. Everyone says money and fame doesn't buy happiness and I've just shrugged and taken their word for it. While reading this however, it did evoke some sympathy in me towards Graham.
Ellie I liked in general too. The way she tries to keep her dad's secret was done better than it usually is. I can't really go into detail because I'm afraid to spoil anything though I don't feel like it's a huge secret. I'll just say she wasn't uncharacteristic while she was with Graham. I think she stayed true to her character throughout the novel.
I loved the atmosphere of Maine. It was like a character in itself. If nothing else I felt this book was different in that is wasn't set in the usually place books are set in (the ones that I read anyways).
It was a sweet book. And yes, yes, I know a romantic relationship based mostly on e-mails is unrealistic but I enjoyed myself while reading it. This book doesn't just have a bunch of e-mails that they send to each other if my last sentence worried you.

What can I say? This is one of those stories where you find yourself saying, I just loved it. And I really loved it.
I found Graham charming, and pretty real. I loved him, so, so much. I just do. Now everybody stay away from him, he's mine. ♥

It could have been kinda cheesy with the whole movie star thing, but the characters seemed genuine and I really liked them both. I must read more Jennifer E. Smith.
