We see all of the ways in which Graham’s life is lonely rather than charmed. That way we get to see all of the people influencing his life, especially his manager who keeps trying to push Graham to date his costar. Graham – I like that we also get Graham’s perspective in this book.I like that Ellie immediately sees past Graham’s happy act and that she has no trouble rejecting him. Ellie is hesitant to get caught up in Graham’s world, but they form a sweet friendship and enjoy each other’s company when they can. She’s not looking for a boyfriend and she has no idea what to do when her pen pal turns out to be famous. She’s working 2 jobs to save up for her poetry program. Ellie – Ellie is independent and thinks for herself, especially when it comes to Graham.Ellie and Graham’s relationship is sweet, but a little bit strange, and definitely unorthodox. It’s a cute story about an unlikely romance, the secrets we keep, and feeling alone when it seems like you have it all.

This is What Happy Looks Like is told from both Ellie and Graham’s POVs. The slight smiley face curve to the word Happy is perfect and echoes the curve of the sun shape at the top. Other than that, I love the black and white, the focus on the title, and the accents of yellow. Ellie and Graham are very tentative about their new relationship, while the couple on the cover looks all gooey. The only thing I don’t like about this cover is the couple’s pose. But can a star as famous as Graham really start a relationship with an ordinary girl like Ellie? And why does Ellie want to avoid the media’s spotlight at all costs? Then Graham finds out that Ellie’s Maine hometown is the perfect location for his latest film, and he decides to take their relationship from online to in-person. When teenage movie star Graham Larkin accidentally sends small town girl Ellie O’Neill an email about his pet pig, the two seventeen-year-olds strike up a witty and unforgettable correspondence, discussing everything under the sun, except for their names or backgrounds.
