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!
