juliasapphire 's review for:
Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between
by Jennifer E. Smith
“Maybe the world isn't full of signs so much as it's full of people trying to use whatever evidence they can find to convince themselves of what they hope to be true.”
This a novel about a couple who are both trying to figure out if they should stay together or brake up. They will both be going their separate ways to collages, far apart. If they do long distance than they might miss out on "collage experiences" but if they brake up they will miss you each other so much. The last night they have together they go to some places were they had their moments and good times together. They see there friends and have a night out. Trying to figure out what to do before they leave the next day.
I enjoy Smith's writing it's simplistic but tends to incorporate really nice messages. The characters in this book I couldn't make up my mind if I loved or not. I cared about their relationship very much but as individuals not as much. At times I found our main character Claire a bit irritating but she was fine overall.
I loved how they had the whole night to go places. When of my favorite scenes was them playing ping-pong and going to the lake. The side characters I was also rooting for along the way.
Overall I found this a decent read and it was a nice contemporary. It made me think and feel for the characters. It didn't blow my mind but ultimately enjoyed it.
SO they made this deal that they are kind of broken up but when they go to collage they will have fun and do whatever. But they couldn't text or keep in contact for the least little bit. They were kind of just saying "later" they will see again. In the prologue they agree that it has been "later" and basically get back together.
