She snoops on her neighbors - sneaking into dumbwaiters and scaling the roofs of apartment buildings - while jotting down shockingly frank observations, like “DOES HIS MOTHER HATE HIM? IF I HAD HIM I’D HATE HIM.” The 11-year-old heroine of the 1964 classic “ Harriet the Spy” is a street-smart tomboy who galumphs around her Upper East Side neighborhood in ratty jeans and a hoodie.

The book looks at issues of love, vulnerability, and family secrets, exploring the complicated nature of love between people from widely different backgrounds.

Graham arranges to shoot his new movie in Ellie’s seaside town, surprising her with his true identity and leaving levelheaded Ellie feeling “wildly unbalanced.” This is partly due to Graham’s fame, but also because she fears the spotlight would expose a family secret.

Like Smith’s The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight (2012), this sweet novel has a premise worthy of the movies. |
