Check out my full video review: https://youtu.be/KY3a6SwQIcE

Six Goodbyes We Never Said is an own-voices mental health story, following Naima & Drew, both having lost their parents and meeting… getting some help to say goodbye.

I thought this sounded like a very interesting and emotional read, sadly, it didn’t quite hit the mark for me. I found the writing and the delivering of the story confusing and detaching. The book had its moments, and the characters I liked, but how it was executed and told did not work for me at all. I think the book can be important and good for some, but it was not a book for me. I wanted to like it, but the story that was told was not a match with me. 2/5 stars.
