4.5 out of 5 stars

Jennifer E. Smith books are hit or miss for me, but I really enjoyed this one.

The prologue of this book was really good and made me want to continue reading. I was excited to learn about Graham's pet pig, but then he wasn't in the rest of the story.

I thought that Graham and Ellie were cute, and I enjoyed their emails to each other. Also, the fact that this book included the email formatting made it more enjoyable to read as a physical book.

I also liked the coastal setting for this story.

Some parts of the plot seemed like they were going to be cliché, but then the issues were resolved quickly. I know this bothers some people, but I actually enjoyed this about the story.

The whole side plot with Ellie's dad was just okay. I didn't think it was really wrapped up that well or helped the story along.

I don't always enjoy open endings, but I thought it worked well for this story.

One big reason that I enjoyed this story was because it featured a secret celebrity, and I typically like stories with this trope.

Overall, this is a fun and cute story with a nice setting.
