2.5/5 stars I made the mistake of reading This is What Happy Looks Like the same time as I listened to Catch a Falling Star by Kim Culbertson. I think I would have enjoyed This is What Happy Looks like much more if I hadn't done that. I felt like I was reading two of the same books (because they ...

On the other hand, I didn't particularly like the writing style. I had previously read The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, and while the insi...

This is such a cute book. It begins when movie star Graham Larkin mistakenly emails a girl named Ellie O'Neall. They begin talking until, for his newest movie, he demands they film in Maine where Ellie lives. Ellie had no way to know she was emailing Graham Larkin. Due to her own past, there are big...

Cute. Not childishly cute but more like heartwarmingly cute. I loved every single detail of the story. This is my second Jennifer Smith novel and she never fails to amaze me. From the title of the book, I figured this would have a happy ending, but it made me think twice. "This is what happy looks ...

With a page count of 416, I expected way more out of This is What Happy Looks Like. I'm convinced that even with 300 pages, the story would've had adequate room to breathe. In fact, I expect a whole lot more depth out of a thicker book, especially when it's Contemporary. There's little world buildi...
