Wow. I am so glad I got to read this fantastic book. So, the
story goes like this – I’ve decided to begin reading Goodbye Days at about 10pm
and I’ve planned on reading till 12pm as I had to get up early for my kids that
I watch the next day. But oh boy, have I done something completely different. I
have ended up reading till 2am and just COULD NOT STOP. I got so invested into
these characters that I just couldn’t seem to let this book down. And so I
read, and read and read until my eyes decided it was finally enough. The next
day I had kids till about 5pm and all I could think of the whole day was this
book.So while they were napping I was able to read a little been more. The
writing is phenomenal, it sucks you into this tornado of feelings right away
and just won’t let you go until you REALLY think about your whole life and
things that you’ve done and that you’re still maybe regreting. At least that
was the case with me.
It’s a difficult task to make readers love the characters who
are not alive and who are a part of the main character’s past but Jeff did it
astonishingly. I have loved every single member of the Sauce Crew and just kept
wishing they were able to make even more memories together. Life sucks and we
all get to know that truth at one point of our lives. But yet, we continue
living and pushing forward even though we feel broken inside. Maybe we’ll never
truly be fixed but I do admire us, humans, for even trying to move on and make
the best out of the worst.
This novel will bring you tears, quiet laughs and characters
that you can relate to. I have to mention the fantastic brother-sister
relationship and parents who, unlike many other YA books, are a BIG part of
this book and this story.
