Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

5.0

Oh my god this book literally will make you sad, happy you will laugh and cry. I loved the story or the ‘plot’ of the book. I was very excited to know what would have to *blade*.
This has spoilers
So the story starts when Carver send a message to elli, mars, Blake “where are you guys text me back” mars tries to reply but while he is he crashes into a truck and all the 3 of them die since carver or *blade send a text message, after the accident carver went to 3 funerals of his best friends. Blake grandma nana Betsy was very kind and gentle to carver even though he could’ve been the one who sort of killed her grandson, elli’s parents are kind of angry but they end up having a ‘conversation’ about the accident and carver ends up having a panic attack, Mars father is a judge and he was the one to choose if they should let carver free or not and he let him free, but he had to pay for what he did so mars father decided he should have an end day with carver too!

The end days of the 3. The first one was for Blake, carver and nana Betsy went fishing and ate in the Waffle House, lini which I believe her name was asked where Blake was but nana Betsy didn’t wanna hurt her feeling so she said that he was busy so his best friend came. After that she told carver that she was way too nice to them so she didn’t wanna break Lini’s heart.
The end day of Eli, Eli’s parents invited jesmyn too but Eli’s twin sister didn’t come since she and carver aren’t on good terms. They *threw Eli’s spirit into the ocean, and after that his parents told jes and carver they were filing divorce. Once they were done from the ocean they all went to the bathroom so while they were in ,,Eli’s father told him he believed that carver really killed his son but he didn’t want to file anything. After that he also ended up telling him she shouldn’t be hooking up with his dead son’s girlfriend and carver endes up having a panic attack in the bathroom
The end day of mars, oh my god this was one of the ones I didn’t really like so you should just read the book😂

Carver had many panic attacks so his sister Georgia recommend him a therapist or physiatrist so he went to doctor Mendez. Jesmyn or Eli’s girlfriend or widowed girlfriend was there for carver she was even with him in his second panic attacks but once he decided to tell her the truth about what he really feels about him she stops talking to him for about two weeks.
