From goodreads.com: 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.
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. 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?
Another solid contemporary romance from Jennifer E. Smith. I really enjoy her straightforward, not-too-flowery writing style and I love her characters. I really liked seeing Graham's perspective, a little peek inside a movie star's head who doesn't really feel like a movie star, and Ellie was awesome too. The only thing that felt slightly off at first was the storyline with her dad. I wound up liking how it played out, but at the beginning it felt a little unnecessary. Also, something about the pacing felt choppy, but it may just be how it was broken up while i was reading it. Overall this was a great contemporary summer read- just what I was looking for when I read it.
