I loved the first book I read from this Jennifer E. Smith, The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, which made me really excited for this book. While it was still a pretty good book, I found myself skimming over small bits. It just didn't hook me like her other one.
Ellie begins an email correspondence with a boy across the country accidentally. They begin to live for each others emails. One day, this boy shows up her small hometown and turns out to be major celebrity Graham Larkin, who happens to be filming his next big movie on location there.
It was a cute story, but felt slightly contrived. And a little stalker-y. The love story is sweet, but not quite swoon-worthy, and since that is the major plot point of the story it falls a little short of expected.
I do wish I had been reading this book on a nice sunny beach somewhere though - I think it is a prefect book for that. Charming, simple, with just enough excitement to keep me turning pages, but not so much that I wouldn't put it down to go for a swim.
Recommended for someone looking for a nice, light beach read.
