What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen
4.0
Ever since her parent’s news making divorce, Mclean Sweet has traveled from city to city with her father, a former chef who now works for a company that revitalizes failing restaurants. She likes all the moving. In each city she can be someone else, someone different from the girl whose world crumbled a few years before. When they pull into Lakeview for the first time, Mclean wonders who she’ll be in this particular town. Cheerleader? Student council president? Drama geek? She doesn’t expect to be is Mclean Sweet, especially since she has no idea who that is anymore. But after meeting her neighbor Dave, and planting roots for the first time in forever, she realizes that maybe it’s time to find out…warts and all.
What Happened to Goodbye is classic Sarah Dessen, heartfelt, introspective, and gritty without being too rough or angsty. She’s romantic without being fluffy, and despite where you are in life, you identify with her characters in some way. I can definitely understand the appeal of starting over in a new place with the opportunity to be whoever you want to be, and I absolutely appreciate the sentiment of loving other, and yourself, warts and all. I highly recommend Sarah Dessen’s new book What Happened to Goodybe.
