I honestly couldn’t put it down! I love the different storylines in this book, and the way that they all tie together! The plot is very clever and had me hooked from the start. The characters were all so well developed and very easy to love!

The Goodbye Girls By Lisa Harrington.
The story is about two best friends who come up with a business plan idea to deliver gift baskets (“Break Up Baskets”) to break up with someone. The money was to help Lizzie pay for her fees to go to New York with her best friend Willa, but it became much more than that when the "Rogue Baskets" came in, amongst other things.
When I started reading it I was like, "This is just some funny drama book." But I was wrong, the ending caught me completely off guard and it took a deep dark turn, but the very ending for the book was so sweet and wholesome, I wanted to jump with joy while also crying loudly. 😂

I rate this book a 5/5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This book is without a doubt in my top 2 favorite books, if you like dramatic stories with mystery and lots of funny moments give it a read. 🥳🥳🥳

The Goodbye Girls by Lisa Harrington was the best book to end 2021 on!! Easily in the top three books I’ve read right behind Alexandra Harrington’s « The Last Time I Saw Her »!
This book undeniably deserves ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I read this book in one sitting on our way to Grandfalls and I couldn’t put it down!! This #freebook was given to me by @digitally_lit and published by @nimbuspub

The plot in this book was incredibly well written and thought out. Every page made me want more and kept me hooked. The characters were relatable and well developed and the mystery was so great!

The romance between Lizzie and Garret was so cute and kept the story upbeat and fun. I appreciate that the storyline wasn’t predictable and that it was unique and nothing like I’ve ever read before!

The themes were fresh and relatable and the author portrayed high school, romance and the revenge aspects very accurately and in a way that was entertaining and kept you wanting more. The one part I would’ve changed was the ending, I thought it was wrapped up sort of quickly but that’s it. Overall this was an amazing novel that I recommend to everyone and that I will definitely be rereading!!
