The language the author uses to present the Hello, Goodbye, and Everything in Between narrative is familiar and accessible. Because the novel is meant for young adult readers, the author embraces colloquial and conversational sentence structures and word choices throughout. In this way, the author avoids alienating her reader. At the same time, the author’s largely plain, simple, and unadorned linguistic patterns translate Clare and Aidan’s complex internal experiences in a neat and recognizable fashion to the page.
