Description In Favor Of Books Goodbye Days
What if you could spend one last day with someone you lost?One day Carver Briggs had it all—three best friends, a supportive family, and a reputation as a talented writer at his high school, Nashville Academy for the Arts.
The next day he lost it all when he sent a simple text to his friend Mars, right before Mars, Eli, and Blake were killed in a car crash.
Now Carver can’t stop blaming himself for the accident, and he’s not the only one. Eli’s twin sister is trying to freeze him out of school with her death-ray stare. And Mars’s father, a powerful judge, is pressuring the district attorney to open a criminal investigation into Carver’s actions.
Luckily, Carver has some unexpected allies: Eli’s girlfriend, the only person to stand by him at school; Dr. Mendez, his new therapist; and Blake’s grandmother, who asks Carver to spend a Goodbye Day with her to share their memories and say a proper goodbye to his friend.
Soon the other families are asking for a Goodbye Day with Carver, but he’s unsure of their motives. Will they all be able to make peace with their losses, or will these Goodbye Days bring Carver one step closer to a complete breakdown or—even worse—prison?

Beautifully written, heartbreaking, and memorable. I've read it twice, and it was just as powerful the second time.Isnt it terrible... What a loss... He was so young... He was so funny... He was... He was... He was. People take shelter under clichés. Language is powerless enough in the face of death. I guess its asking too much for people to veer from the tried-and-true under such circumstances.It legit was my mistake thinking this would be more cathartic than torturous to read after suffering a loss myself last Monday. We constantly have to tell ourselves things like "he is in a better place".. "he's not in
*Disclaimer: A copy of Goodbye Days by Jeff Zentner was provided to me by Crown Books For Young Readers via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion in any way.--Actual Rating: 4.5 starsFunny how people move through this world leaving little pieces of their story with the people they meet, for them to carry. Makes you wonder whatd happen if all those people put their puzzle pieces together.This book broke me. I dont know what I was expecting from the guy that
I dont remember reading a book that had me laughing and crying literally at the same time from start until the very end until Goodbye Days. When you decide to read the book, the most helpful tip I could give you is to take good care of your heart because after reading, mine felt like it cart wheeled out of my mouth not being able to withstand the overwhelming emotions and then feeling stunned, it was as if I forgot the poor organ still lying on the ground so I accidentally stepped on it and
Here's where GOODBYE DAYS came from:I think about death a lot. Not to an unhealthy degree, mind you. Or at least I dont think so. I guess its hard to be objective about this sort of thing. I know that I think about dying at least once a day. Anyway, death fascinates me. And while I adhere to the maxim write what you know, I adhere much more to the idea write what you struggle with. I find the subject of teenagers dealing with death--particularly the death of other teenagers (and friends no
4.5 starsThere are no words in the history of ever to describe how I felt when reading Goodbye Days. I wasnt expecting to be so moved by it, but I found it to be such a true and beautiful portrayal of grief and anxiety and friendship. I cant imagine ever doing this justice. For the most part, you don't hold the people you love in your heart because they rescued you from drowning or pulled you from a burning house. Mostly you hold them in your heart because they save you, in a million quiet and
Oh boy. What can I even say? I'm exhausted and emotionally drained from this book, but in a good way?I was sad the entire time I was reading this. It's a hard story to get through, because it's devastating. As it should be. Because the subject matter of accidents caused by texting while driving is heartbreaking. I knew going into this that it would be a hard read, and it was. But it was beautiful in its own way as well.The characters that Jeff Zentner has created in this novel are incredibly
