Good-bye Days by Jeff Zenter
Anayency Favela
Plot Summary
Carver Briggs has everything: a perfect family, a good school and three best friends, Mars, Blake, and Eli. Until one day when Carver texts Mars to ask them where they are and he never texts back. Later Carver finds out that they had been killed in a car accident and the police found Mars phone texting Carver back. Now Carver blames himself and Mars's dad, judge Edwards, is opening up a crime investigation.
Critical Evaluation
Goodbye Days reminds us that you never know when something bad can happen to the ones you love. Jeff Zentner tells us to acknowledge the ones you love by dedicating your time to them. In the book, Carver dedicates his time to his best friends by having a "goodbye days" where they do things the dead person would love. For example, Blake loved to fish, so they spend the time fishing.
I give this book a 10/10 because it's filled with sadness, heartbreaking moments and it taught me to spend more time with my loved ones.
