This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith
5.0

I absolutely loved this book!! I especially loved how Smith made sure when you were finished it was on a happy note-Graham and Ellie are together, she's going to the Harvard program, Quinn isn't mad at her, her mom is okay with all the news articles. I really loved how we were able to have both perspectives-Graham and Ellie. It was really nice because you were able to see what Graham was feeling like when he went on the date with Quinn thinking it is Ellie, you wouldn't have gotten that from Ellie's perspective. I feel like this book had also a great plot where even the ordinary girl in the situation actually isn't all that ordinary and has a very news worthy background. Something else I found nice was that Graham had a regular lifestyle when he was growing up and he is able to realize how fame had a affected him like when he went to his parents house or when Ellie said she only needed to get a thousand dollars more. I also loved how Smith included the prologue in the beginning of the book in email format because you were able to see the first messages sent between them. I kind of wished that Graham and Ellie hadn't gone those three weeks without talking because that gave them barely any time together, I feel like three weeks went by in the story without us knowing anything. Besides that, this was an AMAZING book and I am recommending it to all my friends because it's such a cute love story! Jennifer E. Smith did a great job!!
