Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner

5.0

A heart-wrenching story that had me welling up on numerous occasions - but through the vivid and hilarious vignettes of the four friends, it's elevated from being just a tearjerker. I felt so warmly towards this bunch I wanted to be their friend too! Which only makes the plot sting all the more. Written with a voice that is recognisably teen but is also nuanced, sophisticated and rarely one-dimensional, the grief in this story is painfully realistic - your heart truly aches.
