Before Goodbye by Mimi Cross
Amazon has this thing, where if you’re a prime member you get 1 free early release ebook a month. I think thats where this one came from.
Oh my gosh am I glad it did.
This book was raw, painful and real. I loved it.
Cate was perfectly relateable from start to finish. She was a work in progress, someone who didn’t know who they were, which I think literally everyone can relate to.
David is a mostly typical YA fiction boy (Seemingly unattainable, all american, a little broken) but in this case hes different because he’s three dimensional with a view from both his eyes an Cate’s.
Throughout the book both suffer exceptional losses and both react differently. David bottles it up, he has been through other losses, he seems to be able to compartmentalize mostly, though he occasionally lashes out. Cate takes drugs (aided by her best friend).
Reading through Cate’s chapters I felt sluggish and weary, almost like I could feel the drugs she’d taken (I still haven’t decided if that’s me projecting or if the writing was that good? I’m weird like that). Davids chapters are full of longing, and pain, and guilt, and its heartbreaking. Both characters are complex and relateable and full of pain and sorrow and its wonderful.
I can’t seem to go into more without massive spoilers.
Easy read, I finished it in three lunch periods. If you like coming of age YA fic this book is for you.
4/5 Stars
