I think this book is nearly perfect. I also thought that The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight was perfect. I think we have a trend.
In a very fun, very typical YA teen romance, a girl starts an email pen pal friendship with someone who ends up being one of the more famous actors going. Naturally, he is doing a movie in her hometown of Maine, so...
I mean, it's a simple premise that doesn't try to be anything it isn't, and it just nails things on all cylinders. The story is fun, the ending enjoyable...I have absolutely no complaints at all. Great, great read.

Oh my gosh! Why have I not read anything by Jennifer E. Smith sooner! I heard all the talk about her last book The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, but never got around to it (after finishing this book I ran out to buy a copy of her other book). I have so much love for this book, it's absolutely adorable and just such a great story! I have absolute cover love for both of Smith's books and I think they match perfectly (even though these are not part of a series).
When I started this book, I fell in love with both of the characters right away. I don't know if this has ever happened to me before when reading a contemporary novel, but they were just so darn cute, and so were their interactions with one another. I could actually see people giving me weird looks because I had such a goofy smile on my face and I wanted to laugh out loud so much during this book. The story was such a cute idea, how would you answer if fate came calling, would you answer the email from a random person?
When Graham accidently sends an email to Ellie (her email being one number off from a friend Graham's) they begin an unlikely friendship opening up to one another, without actually knowing who the other one is. I really enjoyed seeing the emails between these two characters, everything is so easy and I can imagine how Ellie felt being excited by these emails. When Graham realizes his new movie needs a new location he does everything in his power to get it filmed in this small town so he can meet this girl that he has been emailing.
Honestly reading through this book, I loved so many of the interactions between the characters of Graham and Ellie, she didn't change her thoughts on him just because he was some big movie star. Ellie would say what she thought and she wasn't nervous being with him because she knew a different side of him.
I was also really interested in Ellie's story. Smith really kept me intrigued with this secret past of Ellie's that no one seems to know about. When it came out it really surprised me, and I really felt for Ellie just wanting to take her in my arms and hug her forever.
I honestly loved everything about this book! Jennifer E. Smith has a way with words that just made me go "Awww" and kept me with this goofy grin on my face! I can't wait to read THE STATISTICAL PROBABILITY OF LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT now and more from her! I want everyone to go out and read her books!!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was sweet and romantic with an element of modern-day fairytale to it. Of course, the idea of inadvertently embarking on an email correspondence with a famous movie star is completely unrealistic, but it was still a nice escapism read.
I really like the two main characters, Graham and Ellie. The way their relationship started was really funny, and their email exchanges were full of wit. They're both very interesting characters and exceptionally mature for their age; I enjoyed reading the story from both of their point of views. Graham, in particular, is such a refreshing character compared to today's real-life celebrities. He is down-to-earth and doesn't exhibit any diva-ish attitutde at all.
I initially did not like the parents as they seem to be indifferent to their childrens' lives. However, as we got to know them better through their children, I did start to empathize with them.
The ending was also well done as it ties up the story quite nicely while leaving open hopeful possibilities about Graham's and Ellie's futures.
Overall, a fantastic teen romance!

A perfect summer romance that makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside
To sum my feelings up: books like this are what happy looks like.
This book was incredibly cute. While it may have been longer than necessary it was an adorable and light read. It left me wanting more. The characters are so easy to fall i love with and relate to. Definitely looking forward to reading more Jennifer E. Smith books in the future. Overall I give this book 3.75/5 stars.
2.5*
This book wasn’t bad but I definitely would have enjoyed it way more if I was 10 years younger lol

I feel like I should give this three stars since it was fine, and generally unobjectionable all around. But I just can't get that psyched about it. So two it is.
This is an amazing book, however and the end it just turned pretty boring. Perhaps is something about the writing style or just the story.
Anyways it was good.
