Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between

I was just casually shopping at my local used bookstore when I stumbled on this book. I've seen quite a few photos and reviews of Smith's books so I figured I might as well give it a go. I didn't really have any expectations going into it.

It had the feel of Sarah Dessen book, but not as much substance. The characters were okay, the storyline was okay, the whole thing was overwhelmingly okay. Some parts were really cliché, but that's to be expected. Nothing really stood out to me at all. The writing style was good. It was just sort of typical, rather forgettable for me. I felt like she tied up the end very nicely though, I was impressed with that.

As an extra note, I think the covers and fonts of Smith's novels are adorable. I'll probably try again with another of her books eventually, just because I like to give everything more than one chance before writing it off completely.


I would recommend it for lovers of contemporary YA!

Y tiene noticias de película! –> LÉELO

RESEÑA Original de: El Extraño Gato del Cuento

En toda mi vida, nunca pero nunca, eso que he tenido momentos bastante bajos, pero nunca me había sentido tan miserable como me sentí luego de terminar Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between. A ver, este libro lo conocí a finales de 2014 cuando Tristar decidió que era buena idea comprar los derechos del libro y generar un poco de bulla. Leímos la sinopsis y entendimos porqué es que estaban interesados. Leí el libro y sé que voy a morir si la película llega hacerse y la hacen bien. Y si lo hacen mal, ellos son los muertos.

Los que hemos leído con anterioridad a Jennifer E. Smith ya sabemos que nos encontraremos: una historia sencilla, personajes normales y mucho, mucho romance. A mí me gusta eso, personajes normales, personajes que sientes podrías encontrarte en la calle o quizá ya conoces. O quizá tú eres el personaje del que está hablando la escritora.

When their eyes meet, he smiles almost without meaning to, which is the kind of smile she loves best: It's like a sneeze, a reflex, a twitch, helpless and automatic, and it only happens when he looks at her.
