If you like your YA light and airy, then Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between might be the book for you! This is actually a fitting choice for this time of year, a quintessential back-to-school reading selection. Hello tells the story of Clare and Aidan as a "one magical night" type of tale: We spend the night, from early evening until the next morning, watching Clare and Aidan's final night together after a two-year high school relationship, as each prepares to leave for college in the morning. Clare and Aidan live near Chicago, but Clare will attend an East Coast college and Aidan will be at UCLA. 
 All summer long, they've been debating whether to stay together or break up before leaving for school, with Aidan wanting option 1 and Clare advocating for option 2. It's not that they don't love each other; they do. But neither can be sure that staying together is the right thing to do. Is it better to end things now, on their own terms, than risk a slow fizzling out as they become involved in their own, separate college lives? What if they meet other people? What if they don't, but miss out on key college experiences because their minds are too wrapped up in their long-distance romance? 
 Clare and Aidan spend the night visiting old hang-outs, best friends, scenes of memorable firsts, and "everything in between", looking to both capture memories and come to an agreement before the sun rises and they go their separate ways. Even though the couple is dealing with heart-ache and sadness, there's still an element of excitement and looking forward -- plus family drama, as each character's relationship with parents has an impact on their choices and how they feel about their chances as a couple. 
 I liked Hello, but thought it was a little too simplistic in presenting the options available to Clare and Aidan. They're fun characters with good hearts, but I'm not sure the situation warrants quite as much drama as they infuse into it. This is a nice, light read, super quick and easily digestible. It didn't make much of a deep impression on me, but it did keep me entertained all the way through.
