The Irish Goodbye is a romance about Cordelia, an American grieving the loss of her father, who decides to work for the summer in Ireland. There she meets Niall, who recently returned to his hometown after his fiancée cheated on him.
I really loved all the side characters in his novel, especially Róisín. I also enjoyed the main couple, but felt that their relationship was pretty rushed. It went from them being enemies to in love extremely quickly. The ending also seemed rushed, but for the most part I did enjoy the story.
I listened to the audiobook and really enjoyed both Keval Shah and June DeBorahae. I didn’t love when Keval did female characters voices, but I don’t often like that in books so that isn’t strictly an issue with this one.
Overall I did like the story and would try reading more from this author in the future.
