This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
4.0

If I had to choose, this would probably be my favorite of all Jennifer E. Smith's books I've read so far. For the record, i've only read Statistical Probabilty of Love at First Sight and Geography of You and Me before this one. Still, I think there's a different kind of magic to Graham and Ellie's love story.

The story was simple but well written and I loved all the characters. Yes, even Olivia. What surprises me is that there is no real bad guy to this story. Not Ellie's mom and not Harry (Graham's manager). The worst villain in the film would probably be the pushy photographer, who was really annoying. I was glad Graham punched him in the face.

This was a very light, and fairly amusing read. The only thing bad thing I could say about this is that there was no "I love yous" or a confirmation that they'd stay together. Luckily, I discovered there's a mini sequel I could read to satiate my curiosity of what comes next for them.

Two thumbs up for this story!
