Goodbye, Perfect
by Sara Barnard
I picked up this book because I read "A Quiet Kind of Thunder" and enjoyed it.
This book isn't at all what I expected it to be. It's not a bad book, but it's not something I would choose to read again.
I don't want to spoil the story, but let's just say that this whole book revolves around a certain topic, and I didn't know that going in to the story.
I think my main problem with this story was the characters.
My favorite character was Connor because he was awesome although maybe not the most realistic teenage boy (at least in my experience). His relationship with Eden was enjoyable.
I really didn't like Bonnie as a character because she was so selfish and such a terrible friend to Eden. I couldn't understand how Eden seemed to know a totally different version of her than I ever saw throughout the story.
Eden as the protagonist was frustrating. I just couldn't wrap my head around the fact that she was so loyal to Bonnie to the point of being dishonest and not caring that Bonnie was in danger. She had a really messed up view of what friendship is.
Even though this book isn't necessarily enjoyable, I think it talks about an important topic that I don't typically see discussed in YA books.
I would recommend reading this book, but just know going in to it that it isn't a "fun" book to read.
