If there is anything that I like about this book more than anything, is that the action started right off the bat. But real life doesn't flow well like the movies, and it doesn't take long before Graham and Ellie are put under the troubles of staying under the radar in an attempt to protect one's identity and past. When Graham sees an opportunity to relocate his movie set, he suggests that his crew shall take their entire production to Henley, Maine-the small town where Ellie lives-in hopes that he can finally meet her in person. In fairness, Ellie doesn't have any clue about Graham's life in the spotlight. However, what Graham doesn't know about Ellie, is that her family holds a scandalous history with the media. And thus, beginning their online relationship-talking about their lives, hopes, dreams, fears, as well as how happiness looks like for the both of them. Due to Graham's mistake in typing the email address of the guy who is supposed to watch his pet pig, Wilbur, as he flies off to Maine to shoot his upcoming movie, his e-mail accidentally ends up in Ellie's inbox. The book follows the story of Graham Larkin and Ellie O'Neill, both at the age of seventeen, but are from the opposite sides of the country, California and Maine, respectively. Smith's book, This Is What Happy Looks Like, is a contemporary young adult novel set in a fictional small town of Henley, Maine (yes, I've done my research and found out that Henley, Maine is, in fact, purely fictional).
