The Good Goodbye was the March 2018 pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove.
Overall, it read more like a YA novel than Women's Fiction. The story is told through three POVs: Natalie, her daughter Arden, and her niece Rory. The two college freshmans got more page-time than the adult, so by the halfway point, I found myself wishing there were another adult POV to balance out the high-school-ish narratives.
I did really enjoy the gradual revelation of information about the characters and things that happened in the past. It gave the story a mysterious thrust that kept me wanting to turn the pages.
It did feel like it ran long by a good 30 pages. Some spaces were lived in for too long and the plot could've been tightened up a bit, but overall I thought it was readable story. B-
