One night can change everything…
Two years ago, Leigh Anne Davis shocked everyone in tiny Fairhope, Georgia when she broke up with her wealthy boyfriend to attend an Ivy League university a thousand miles away. At school, she finds a happiness and independence she’s never known.
Until one terrifying night takes it all away from her.
With no place else to go, Leigh Anne heads home to reclaim her old life. A life she worked so hard to escape. On the outside, she seems like the same girl everyone has always known. But deep inside, she’s hiding a terrible secret.
That’s when she meets Knox Warner, a troubled newcomer to Fairhope. His eyes have the same haunted look she sees every day in the mirror, and when she’s near him, the rest of the world fades away. But being with Knox would mean disappointing everyone all over again. If she wants to save what’s left of her old life, she has no choice but to say goodbye to him forever.
Only, the trouble with goodbye is that sometimes it’s about courage and sometimes it’s about fear. And sometimes you’re too broken to know the difference until it’s too late
The Review: I quite enjoyed this book. Although there isn't really
anything new that can be written when writing in the New Adult genre, so
sometimes it can all feel a little repetitive, however it’s still great to read
one from a new author.
Sarra Cannon, managed to draw in my attention from the start. I really liked all the characters, especially Knox and Leigh Anne. You know how some characters just fit? They belong? It’s the same with Leigh Anne and Knox, they have instant connection and both find something in each other worth keeping.
The Trouble with Goodbye deeply touches at your heart. I was
immersed in Leigh Annes story, I really felt for her. Everything she went
through you feel every emotion and shiver. As her and Knoxs relationship goes
further it develops from a friendship to a love, they both find comfort and
solace in one another and both help each other through their demons.
I am giving it a solid 3 stars, but only because I did feel
that Leigh Annes inner monologue went on a little longer in some scenes than
necessary and I do believe that when writing New Adult duel POV's are better. This didn't have anything in Knox point of view, so that’s where the star drops for me. But overall a great little read, that I actually devoured
and I really wish there were more.
I will most definitely read more by Sarra, she has a nice
way with words and knows how to tell a story as well as creating swoon Worthing
males which is what we all really look for isn’t it? I thought so.
A solid 3 stars from me :)
