This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
3.0

Ugh, that was stupidly cute.

Like, it was pretty standard teen romance fare, and everything works out happily, and everything was summery and predictable and nice. And I liked it, even if maybe it's not the most brilliant work of fiction in the world. It was fun and light and just what I needed after the suck-tastic past few days I've had.

Graham is a movie star, Ellie is just a girl, and they start emailing, and then he convinces the director of his movie that they should film in her hometown, and there are mishaps and Ellie has a secret (which thankfully is neither that she has a secret baby, nor that she is a werewolf), and they break up and get back together and everything is generally standard romantic comedy fare.

It had the same summer feel as Huntley Fitzpatrick's My Life Next Door, although I think I liked My Life Next Door better. But if you like one you'll probably like the other. It was a very different feel from The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, though, and if you're looking for something with a similar feel to that one, you might be disappointed with this book.
