hello goodbye and everything between book

Dude is hot and goofy and very convincing as the one high school boy you could actually end up marrying. He was John Ambrose for god’s sakes!!! (#JohnAmbroseWasRobbed) And it’s awesome to see him take center stage as a romantic lead.

She’s winsome and charming while still being relatable, and while some of y’all might recognize her from West Side Story, this was my first introduction to her, and I could totally see her playing any number of Sarah Dessen protagonists.īy this point, Jordan Fisher is YA adaption royalty. L-R: Ayo Edebiri, Talia Ryder, Jordan Fisher, Nico HiragaĪs Clare, Talia is totally the insert-YA-heroine-here, and I mean that in the best way. But as we all know, the heart doesn’t work like that, and on the eve of Clare heading off to Dartmouth, Aidan plans a night packed with memories to convince her that they can make it work. So yeah, as Netflix indicates, Clare and Aidan meet at the beginning of senior year and, thanks to the impact of Clare’s unlucky-in-love mom, they make a promise to break up before college. It’s refreshing to watch what happens after “happily ever after” but sans the adult drama-these two protagonists are just graduating from high school, so the stakes are high in their eyes but not THAT high for us adults. Smith’s novel (that this film is based on), I applauded her for starting with the end of a relationship versus the beginning, and I stand by that with this adaptation. But will one epic goodbye date offer them a last chance at love? Title: Hello, Goodbye and Everything in BetweenĬlare and Aidan make a pact to break up before college - no regrets, no broken hearts. Fix: YA adaptation, college transition, one jam-packed night (a la Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist)
