This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith

4.75

This book should have been called "this is what make me happy," because I was nothing but smiling throughout this entire book. Ahh, what feeling I have for this books. The main love story was absolutely beautiful it may not fully believable but who cares it's YA. The plot twist totally caught me off guard and the writing style was to die for. Jennifer E. Smith makes ordinary anything sound so lovely, like the feeling that makes your heart speed. I think a good character development was when you're not falling for the characters together, you're worried when they're not. And Ellie's past and how she acted around Graham the first few weeks and after were completely in sync with each other. There wasn't a guessing game with this book and it made me want more at the end. Graham is the type of boy every girl deserves. The boy who will always think of you first, the boy who will always have you in their thoughts, the boy who will always be by your side even if you say 'no.' From E-mails to conversation, Ellie and Graham were absolute perfection. I loved this book and everything in between. From Wilbur and Bagel to Ellie's mom and Quinn and Joe and the lobsters and the poetry and the city skylines and the ice cream shop and when they meet for the first time and every time afterwards. Ahh, this book made me very happy.
