If fate sent you an email, would you answer?

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?

I liked it. It was light, simple and fun. It did drag a little and it was awfully long considering not much happens. I think it needed more development. I still enjoyed it. I think it would make a great Hallmark movie. I saw it in my head as I was reading it.

I'm glad you liked it. I have to finish and and then I'll start it.

I liked it too, although it could have been so much better. It was very simple. It just skimmed the surface... there was no depth.

Karen- The book mirrored the Hallmark movie formula. I haven't seen one in awhile, but I'm sure the format hasn't changed. So yes, it would make a great Hallmark movie.

This is the first book I've listened to by this author. I'll try more when I need a light read.

It was cute, definitely an easy quick & light read. I liked her other book Hello, Goodbye & Everything in Between a bit better, but with both reads I could def see a movie made out of them. I want to read The Geography of You & Me next, along with the follow up story to This is What Happy Looks Like titled Happy Again.

I have The Geography of You & Me and hope to get to it later this month or next month. It's nominated for our group read, but it doesn't look like it will win. It would be a good book to read after a book hangover.
