Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between

Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between is a 2022 American romantic drama film directed by Michael Lewen, in his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Amy Reed and Ben York Jones, based on the novel of the same name by Jennifer E. Smith.

It stars Jordan Fisher, Talia Ryder, Ayo Edebiri, and Nico Hiraga.

[1] Clare, a high school senior recently moved back to a west coast town, is convinced by her old friend Stella to attend a Halloween party.

Feeling the spark, Aiden leans in to kiss her, but Clare declares she does not want a boyfriend (as her parents were high school sweethearts who married but soon divorced).

At summer's end, the day before Clare's road trip to Dartmouth, at a barbecue with both families, they are told they are naïve to give up on love.

She replied, “easy-breezy.” Their friend, Scotty, had remarked that Clare had rocketed, and to freeze that memory, he gives her a rocket-shaped key ring with the words written on the back.

When Aiden reappears in a tux, he sees Stella has joined what was supposed to be their perfect date.

Clare leaves for New Hampshire the next morning, focused on her studies, though regularly checking Aiden's social media updates.

In September 2020, Talia Ryder and Jordan Fisher joined the cast of the film, with Michael Lewen set to make his directorial debut, from a screenplay by Ben York Jones and Amy Reed, based upon the novel of the same name by Jennifer E. Smith, with Fisher set to serve as an executive producer.
