My Goodbye Girl

This is one of those books that hits you in the feels hard and leaves you quite emotional. I haven’t cried while reading in a while until this book. The tears were happy, sad and at times angry but I was not going to put the book down long enough to wipe them away.

Oh Tessa. What an incredibly strong and smart woman. She is understandably apprehensive on developing a relationship with anyone and Simon scared her for so many reasons, she didn’t know if she could ever unlock her heart but Simon found a way.

I was reluctant to read this because I had a feeling it was going to make me cry. I’m so glad I did and I fell in love with everything about their story.

Keep a box of kleenex close and be prepared to deal with all of your feelings. It’s 100% worth it.

My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez. This is the perfect romance to read as you are on vacation at the beach, in the mountains or at the lake! I loved this book. Its about Tessa who is a up and coming romance author is flighty, scattered and fun who has one goal in mind….fame. Simon is a scientist who is very detailed, organized and focused on one thing…money. They meet on a flight from Boston to LA but never really speak. She notices the good looking man across from her and he slips her his business card as they are getting off the plan. Over the years they see each other in various places but they can never get on the same page. Simon becomes a little less rigid and Tessa becomes a little more organized each time they are around one another. When Tess begins to think about how her brother is the only family she has she begins to think maybe fame isn’t all life is about. While in Paris a tragic accident happens and turns Simon and Tessa’s world upside down. Will they give into each other and try to work it out? Read this heart wrenching romance to find out!

This is a really beautiful emotional romance. The author gives these characters and their lives so much depth that you are completely immersed in their story.
This is definately a story of a chance meeting turning into a romance that changes and consumes the lives of the people involved.
Simon and Tessa are so different that it makes the whole opposite attracts saying so true. Although as the story progresses their differences also causes them problems as Simon wants to settle down and Tessa is enjoying her jetting life too much.
Their story of meeting by chance and the subsequent meetings and leavings makes this story such a moving read. Your heart breaks for them everytime they part and makes you wonder if they will ever just compromise so they can be together.
It’s not a straight forward romance and with loss, and circumstances in their separate pasts that they need to work through you are always wondering if they can ever make this work or if they are doomed to constantly say goodbye to each other.
This was a very emotional read. My heart cried for them several times during the story and I wasn’t able to put it down. Such a beautifully written story and it was nice to travel the world with this amazing couple.

I quite liked this one, it follows Julie, Marie, Terry & Paige 20 years after a plane crash. Page really wants to move on but Julie can’t forgive herself for what she did on that flight. She has kept in touch with Paige over the years trying to pay penzance I guess. Paige doesn’t really want to stay in contact with Julie, as it’s a constant reminder of what happened but she does because she knows it helps Julie. We learn how each survivor has coped or not coped with the aftermath and how they’ve lived their lives afterwards and not everyone has dealt with it well. This was beautifully written and I will definitely be reading more from this author.

This is an enjoyable and lighthearted story about two characters who are polar opposites and yet forge a strong connection. The nature of this story allows you to get to know them slowly and watch their relationship develop. It was great to see how things progressed.
I thought the story was written well. It had a slower pace than some books I have read recently which was a nice change. This is a new author to me and I found myself pulled into their writing style with ease. I will definitely be checking out more books from them in the future.

The story follows Tessa, an impulsive author with commitment issues who meets Simon, a super-organised scientist who is eager to settle down. They’re both attracted to each other and decide to meet up every now and then in various places around the world until they inevitably fall for each other and each has to decide whether the other is worth giving up what they thought they always wanted. I liked this concept, but I didn’t get attached to the characters until halfway through the book. Neither of them seemed likeable at first, their relationship seemed awkward, it seemed to be purely about sex until the halfway point. At that point, you can see that they truly care for each other and are willing to sacrifice to make the relationship work. Of course, this is when everything changes. I was gripped when reading the second half, finding myself emotionally attached to the characters and not just Tessa and Simon, but Jacob, Riley, Liam, and Will, too. I recommend this book because whilst I didn’t get too attached to the romance aspect of this book – which is probably for personal reasons, and so a lot of readers will probably not agree with my opinion – the grief aspect had me in tears, and I could not put it down once I got to part two. I even cried through the acknowledgements. I also have to commend Anna’s ability to switch from past to present tense, and her portrayal of grief. I would love to read more about Riley and Jacob’s story. “Unfortunately, time is temporary. It passes. You have to live with what you have here and now. Contentment, acceptance—these things are hard to come by. But if you spend your life living in the past, you’ll never be able to truly appreciate the present.

So first off, the vivid descriptions in this story were off the charts imagery. I could absolutely picture the characters and the locations that were described in the story. This book was so sweet and just when I thought I had everything figured out, the author threw in a new twist that completely threw me for a loop. Tessa and Simon are absolutely amazing together and while I can’t exactly relate to the jet setting lifestyle they have, the relationship problems they experienced were extremely realistic. I literally couldn’t put this book down until I had finished the last page. I absolutely fell in love with the characters and definitely alternated between laughing and crying throughout the book. I have not read anything from this author before, but I will definitely be checking out her other books, I will just make sure to keep tissues handy. If you are looking for an amazing book that will leave your heart filled, this is a great book to check out.

This is my favorite book I read this year. The author wrote the story in such a way that I had to keep reading. The characters were not only relatable but so well written that at times I thought Tessa and Simon could be real friends of mine. The story starts in and air plane where Tessa and Simon meet each other but don’t have a chance to build a connection. If it weren’t for Simon making sure Tessa finds his business card in her purse.
A world traveling romance of two strangers who become so much more, that are pulled apart due to a tragic incident. Something that any of us could experience in the world we live in today. The connection and love shown throughout the story made me believe again. I’m looking forward to reading more books by this author!

My Goodbye Girl
By: Anna Gomez

This is the type of book that I expect in a summer read. It was well written, fast paced, and feel good. Reading it felt like I was sitting in the sunshine, while in reality I was in my bed. This book also in many ways is an opposites attract – where in no way should the characters click in real life but in the book it not only works but makes complete sense. I felt that their attraction for each other was palpable and they definitely had great banter that was enjoyable to read. I definitely recommend reading this book, especially as it makes a great beach read!

I was very invested in the book from the start because it draws you in immediately. I also felt connected since I am personally familiar with the area in which Paige lives. I smiled with how accurate the description of Paige’s hometown and job and past times and how they resonated with me also growing up in a small town.

This book has some amazing lessons and really shows the ways different individuals deal with trauma and showed the separate perspectives and struggles after the plane crash.
It is a nice reminder that what you believe is important may not hold the same value to someone else and that people process things uniquely. Grief and loss from different ages and points of view is both heart breaking and thought provoking.
How life does (or doesn’t) move on after loss is a real thing that should be discussed more openly.
There is no one-size-fits-all reaction to trauma or loss.

This is my first novel by Anna Gomez and it won’t be my last. Fast read, perfect for summer around the college courses I am taking as well as work…. neither Simon nor Tessa got on my nerves the entire book, which usually what happens when I read romance-like books. I enjoyed the little snippets of different countries and cultures they visit together, and felt overall the story flowed well without being overally wordy or too long, just the right length.

My favorite part was when Simon is trying to figure out technology to stay connected with Tessa- very funny lines throughout that part of the story! Looking forward to reading her other two novels.

Tessa and Simon meet on an airplane and things seem to stay up in the air between them for quite some time. Both are fairly successful in their chosen professions. Simon wants more out of life than Tessa does it seems. But are things really as they seem?

One truth about this book: I loved it!!

This book has a few twists and turns. It was a bit predictable for me as well, up to chapter 34 anyway. Then things changed but not as much as I thought they might.

I couldn’t put this book down until I read it all the way through though. Overall, a very well written story!

I enjoyed reading this book. This is a book about one woman’s journey of finding love and letting go. Tessa is learning to open herself up and letting love in. This is a story that will take you on an emotional roller coaster. Tessa is a great character that I felt for and wanted to see her get happiness. She is strong and a heartfelt character that is my favorite and I enjoyed what she brought to the story. I found this story to be fast paced and hard to put down. A story that is engaging and keeps you coming back for more. There is great growth of the plot which made it easy to read. You don’t want to miss this story. I highly recommend this book.

Fabulously written emotional romance
This brilliantly written romance makes the heart sing and pulls at the heartstrings all at once. The story has an easy flow and I found once I started reading I couldn’t pull my eyes away. I just devoured every word through the whole book. I laughed, I got frustrated and I cried. Not many stories bring such emotional responses from me. If you a looking for a powerfully beautiful romance, look no further. Highly recommend.

3 Stars

 

My Goodbye Girl by Anna Gomez is an angsty and emotional women’s fiction story about star-crossed lovers, and is not your ‘typical’ romance. The story spans several years as the two MCs continue to come together only to be pulled apart- and we follow along on all their highs and lows.
I was intrigued by the premise of the story- a practical and analytical scientist meets a more fanciful romance author- their chemistry draws them together, and connection and developing feelings ensue. But they have personal and professional obstacles that keep drawing them apart. What happens makes for an angsty and interesting read.
I really wanted to love this book more than I did, as I just couldn’t connect with the characters the way I had hoped to. But I will shelve this book to read again in a few weeks to see if I still feel the same way, or maybe discover that I was just having an ‘off’ reading day during this first read-through.
Happy Reading…

Thank you, Anna Gomez!

My Goodbye Girl is the first book I have read by this author, and it hit me in the feels. So, make sure there are tissues at hand. It is a romantic story that had me hoping for more.
With vivid accounts of different places Anna’s writing makes it so easy to get caught up in the story. Add on top of that characters that are as real as it can get. I really wanted to like our FMC more than I did which made it hard for me to fully connect with the story. But having said that it still made me feel.
A chance meeting, hope and anticipation, hopeless love, divided hearts, separated by geography and one everlasting heartbreak.
It is a story where one has to ask is freedom, fame and success worth the price over love?
I look forward to reading more of Anna’s work.
If you need a good cry, then this is the book to help you along the way. If you love a romance story, then this is one to settle down with.

My Goodbye Girl is a heartfelt and poignant story of a chance encounter turning to love. When Simon and Tessa meet by chance on an airplane their chance encounter blossoms from a friendship into a romance. The problem is that they live very different lives, in different countries, and are focused on their own individual success. As the love between Tessa and Simon grows, they meet in different places around the world until fate intervenes and Tessa must decide if she is ready for love. The writing is superb, and the author takes us on a rollercoaster ride of emotions as we anxiously wait to see if love will overcome all in the end. The characters are well written, lovable, and relatable. I highly recommend this story of friendship, romance, love, loss, and hope.

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.

Lap Baby
By: Amy Q Barker

This is such a fantastic story. However, it is such an emotional one to read. Amy Barker does a great job making the whole thing seem so real. This story focuses on Lap Babies, those children under the age of 2 who sit on their parents lap and the aftermath of a plane crash. This plot was so interesting to me. This story definitely focuses on the different people impacted in a trauma and how they all learn to cope. Also, the guilt that accompanies being a survivor. This is an absolutely fantastic story that I completely recommend. You are pulled directly into the story and I was left wondering how I would feel and act if I was in the situation.

What a really sweet romance. Simon and Tessa are so different. He’s a lab nerd and she’s a bestselling author. Yet, in the airport they come together and a “relationship” sparks. I found the story to be a nice slow-burn as these two total opposites somehow lit that Bunsen burner into a romance. I found the characters to well written. They were relatable. It made the story easy to read because you felt like you were reading about best friends. It could be me, I have friends that are that weird, lol. I loved how the story flowed even with it being a sporadic travel story. It’s a different type of romance that I recommend. I hope to read more from this author.

This tale of three women facing life after a tragedy is wonderful and horrible. Each having to find their way in the world after, each having to figure out how to live life after. What does that even mean?

Julie, the flight attendant, has to find purpose in her life after fighting a fight to change the rules that no one wants to change. She also has to manage to live after following protocol, but that doesn’t take away the guilt.

Paige, the toddler, has to figure out who she is while living under the shadow of the tragedy. The physical remnants of the accident will always remind her but will they also keep her from moving forward?

Marie, the mom, has to determine who she is after losing part of herself in the accident. Filling her life with kids’ activities, chores, errands, and stuff doesn’t fill the hole, but is she missing out on what is really important? Marie needs to focus on the life she has in front of her, her husband and three kids, not what is missing.

Wonderful storytelling that weaves the connections and tears in these women’s lives.

In December 2019, her agent convinced her to write one more book. Different model, different subject matter. Clean, contemporary, happy endings. Reluctantly, she decided to give it a try. This time, under her real name, Anna Gomez.

When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Anna can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago.

I picked this book up because the cover was gorgeous, and the name intrigued me. After reading the synopsis I knew I would love this book, and I was right. This was such an emotional rollercoaster and took turns that I wasn’t expecting at all. I definitely sat on the edge of my seat throughout this entire book. My heart broke, I cried, I yelled, and I smiled along as each person told their perspective of that tragic day. I don’t want to give any important details away, so I will just say that you should definitely give this one a chance. You won’t regret letting it touch your heart and give you a new way to look at events in your life. I highly recommend this book!

What a moving story! I tend to be fascinated with perspective stories and how developmentally how the events affect their mindset as well as alter their decisions and thought process there after. This story does those aspects justice as the stories of three surviving women of a plane crash, have intertwined their lives. A flight attendant during the tragedy, Julie was given orders on that day and the guilt she carries from her decision on doing so. A mother with her lap baby, Marie, has been plagued with making the right decision and affecting the outcome of her family life. Then lastly one of the surviving lap babies, Paige has been coming to terms with her life even since those day’s events and bringing her own life together. Amazing read!

After reading the synopsis I knew the book was going to be an emotional ride but It was way more than I expected. It was making me tear just like grey’s anatomy does 😭. It was sooo good the author really knows how to jerk your chain, and pull you in wanting more. I really enjoyed getting to see all the different povs on how they were living after the crash and how it affected them. I really really  really recommend reading this story and I know it will be a reread for me.

I wish I had known up front that this was based off a true story! Wow! This book takes you through an emotional timeline that starts with a plane crash. It follows several survivors and shows how they each work through the trauma and move on in their lives – or not. I enjoyed the story from the very beginning – it was intriguing and made me want to keep reading. I found myself thinking about the grief and guilt one most endure when making decisions that result in consequences we don’t know will happen or think are possible. How do you move on after giving directives that you are required to give that result in innocent lives being lost? It also made me reflect on how we cope after a trauma – it looks different for so many.
