Unfortunately, I have not been able to read and review this book.

After losing and replacing my broken Kindle and getting a new phone I was unable to download the title again for review as it was no longer available on Netgalley.

I’m really sorry about this and hope that it won’t affect you allowing me to read and review your titles in the future.

Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity.
Natalie.

An enjoyable novel that reminded me a lot of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight. I wasn't sure how the novel was going to end but think that it ended on the perfect note

Jennifer E. Smith has the capacity to write such warm, iconic contemporary YA. Ideal for fans of Sarah Dessen and Stephanie Perkins, she takes on themes of first love, teen experiences, travel and change with consistent style. Joining her other unconnected but lengthily-titled contemporaries, including This Is What Happy Looks Like and The Geography of You and Me - a trend which has been brought to a close with the title of her latest book, Windfall - is Hello, Goodbye and Everything In Between. I liked the premise, some of the plot events, and the prose was solid (if nothing startlingly new), but I didn't find the characters as compelling and sensed there was something just a little tired about the set-up. Perhaps, then, it's easy to see why Smith has chosen a different title style, maybe to indicate a different story direction, with her most recent book.

It was pretty cute but quite cliche and samey to other books which is why I only gave it 3/5, it was enjoyable and an easy read

I was so excited to receive this book! Jennifer E. Smith is one of those authors that is regarded so highly in the YA community, and her books always sound right up my street; this was not an exception.

I wasn't sure if I would love this book because Clare and Aidan already have a relationship when the book starts, and I really like reading about a relationship forming. However, that didn't matter at all, which just goes to show how good of an author Smith is. I thought that this book would be quite sad going into it due to the nature of their relationship, but instead it was a magical, nostalgic ride that the readers take with Clare and Aidan.

I loved how the book panned out, with all the different locations and what they meant for the couple. It felt like you were involved in their story right from the beginning.

As main characters go, Clare and Aidan weren't the greatest. It seemed like they were constantly avoiding the thing they had to talk about. I do understand how tough of a decision it is whether to break up or stay together, but they were just being quite immature at times, picking fights rather than dealing with the issue.

Overall, this book was really cute and that was exactly what I was looking for in this book. I will definitely be reading another one of Jennifer's books.
