My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez – Review by Jennifer Gordon

My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This heartwarming and at times heartbreaking romance with an opposites attract theme kept me hooked throughout. Romance author Tessa Talman and scientist Simon Fremont first meet during a flight and are instantly attracted to one another. As their relationship grows and their feelings deepen they continue to live in different countries, meeting in various places around the world. They both have different priorities, with Simon wanting to be financially sound and settle down, and Tessa wanting to enjoy her freedom and newfound success. However, they both find that each time they have to say goodbye it gets harder, and soon Tessa wonders whether fame is really the path to happiness. Just as Tessa realises that Simon is all that she needs to be happy, the unthinkable happens, and they are separated in ways she never imagined. In order for Tessa to move on she must not only let go of the past but must also determine if love is more powerful than the pain of saying goodbye. I was definitely taken on an emotional rollercoaster whilst reading this novel. The storyline flows well and I loved the connection between the main characters and felt very engaged with them.
