A review by msyakirah
Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

4.0

Not gonna lie this book took me a long time to get used to it. Plus, I read the translated version of it to Indonesian, and I definitely see some sentences that don't line up with each other. It is a struggle for me to read it on like the first 100 pages because, in my opinion, it bored me to death. There is no plot whatsoever, the character building is too slow, and overall not much happens. But when I got past that, I can feel that this is a heart-warming book. The character is okay, but the scenery, the plot, and everything really show how a teenager reacts to this kind of situation. It really pictures the real-life internalization of how a teenager's mind thinks, at least according to me. The book is good, but for me that postpones 2 months to read more from the first 100 pages, I don't know it is worth it or not. I'm sure although don't know it yet, there definitely is a better book that raises the same issue as this.
