emilymahar 's review for:
This Is What Happy Looks Like
by Jennifer E. Smith
After reading The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight and loving it so much, I had to pick this one up when it came out. I love how Ms Smith comes up with adorable love stories from the most unusual experiences! After reading this one, I can call Ms Smith my all time favorite contemporary author!
This book was adorable (and the most unrealistic thing ever, but I can hope, right?!)! Everything about it was so cute and likeable. I really liked how the emails between the characters were incorporated as well as there being alternating POVs. It made the book different from many contemporaries.
The characters were great, too. Ellie was filled with sarcasm and witty remarks, making me love her. Graham was just...Graham. He was amazing. Quinn was a great best friend, and I can totally see how her and Ellie get along so well. I didn't really like Ellie's mom very much because I felt like she was almost blaming Ellie for her past mistakes.
The romance was sweet and perfect for summer. But I also liked how there was a little tiny bit of family drama to keep the story from being totally cheesey. Overall, it was a quick, light, perfect-for-summer read!
