Awww, söpöyden ja hattaran määrä... :D En rakastanut tätä yhtä paljon kuin Tilastollista todennäköisyyttä kohdata se ainoa oikea, mutta ihanaa kesälukemista.

3.5 stars. Charming romance with a premise that is sure to hook readers. For a 400-page novel, the pages turn exceptionally quickly.
I did prefer the author's previous book [b:The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|10798416|The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight|Jennifer E. Smith|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337187623s/10798416.jpg|15464655], which I felt was most tightly plotted. Preference aside, this was a solid read. I think I'll also be adding [a:Jennifer E.

yeah, okay okay, it was cute, albeit in a totally unrealistic way. i kind of read this book the same way i'd read fanfiction: kind of distanced from the characters and with a constant tone of disbelief ringing in my head. i couldn't help it! the whole superstar-loving-regular-girl thing sounds like something straight out of disney channel.
but yes, the romance was adorable. and yes, the characters lovable. enough to gush about? not really. just pretty darn cute.

I wouldn't say it's one of my favourite love story but I really enjoyed it. It was quite an interesting story. I like how Ellie fell the real Graham. It's funny how some celebrities would like someone to love them for themselves but not the idea of them. This book shed light on how celebrities' life can be difficult.

Beautiful. I loved it. As I'm writing my review, I just finished reading a few minutes ago and I'm happy and sad over this book. I'm happy because I read it, I'm happy with the story, I'm happy with the writing and I'm happy for Graham and Ellie. It's not outweighing the sadness though. I don't know why but the ending makes me so sad. I feel sadder than Augustus' death, sadder than Tris' death. Maybe it's because they didn't promise each other anything about the future and I was left hanging. I do know they love each but a "we'll write" is just not enough for me. I'm the type of person who wouldn't be convinced if she made her own extension of an ending of a story written by someone else and not imagined by her own brain. I guess Jennifer wanted us to imagine what would happen to Graham and Ellie next. That ending though, it made me ball my eyes out. But I loved it. I loved it so much I would give it more than 5 stars. Thank you for this story Jennifer E. Smith.

Meu primeiro contato com a escrita de Smith foi por volta de 2013, com aquele que na época se tornou um queridinho, A Probabilidade Estatística do Amor à Primeira Vista, até agora em Ser Feliz É Assim, que acabou sendo um reencontro à narrativa da autora tão envolvente e tranquila como eu me lembrava. Apesar de não ter me conquistado como o anterior e inclusive ter me feito passar ligeiras irritações com certos personagens e situações, a história de Ellie e Graham ainda consegue mesclar o clichê gostosinho de garota normal + astro de Hollywood de um jeito que me fez tanto me apegar aos protagonistas, quanto a insistir na leitura e torcer por eles ao mesmo tempo. A conclusão, só para variar, não foi tão marcante e satisfatória para mim como eu penso que poderia ter sido, mas uma vez que também não chega a ser de todo ruim, continua valendo a leitura dentro do que a premissa promete; não há grandes coisas a se esperar, mas, apesar das ressalvas, eu gostei bastante de Ser Feliz É Assim.

This book should have been called "this is what make me happy," because I was nothing but smiling throughout this entire book. Ahh, what feeling I have for this books. The main love story was absolutely beautiful it may not fully believable but who cares it's YA. The plot twist totally caught me off guard and the writing style was to die for. Jennifer E. Smith makes ordinary anything sound so lovely, like the feeling that makes your heart speed. I think a good character development was when you're not falling for the characters together, you're worried when they're not. And Ellie's past and how she acted around Graham the first few weeks and after were completely in sync with each other. There wasn't a guessing game with this book and it made me want more at the end. Graham is the type of boy every girl deserves. The boy who will always think of you first, the boy who will always have you in their thoughts, the boy who will always be by your side even if you say 'no.' From E-mails to conversation, Ellie and Graham were absolute perfection. I loved this book and everything in between. From Wilbur and Bagel to Ellie's mom and Quinn and Joe and the lobsters and the poetry and the city skylines and the ice cream shop and when they meet for the first time and every time afterwards. Ahh, this book made me very happy.

I love the sense of reality in this book. The whole scenario of it, I believe can happen in real life. This book is romantic without being too mushy, it gives you a little tingly feeling that will leave you wanting more.
I really want a beagle now and name it Bagel.
