Before We Say Goodbye cover

This novel explores the complexities of love and family, as Olivia confronts her past and the choices that define her present in Before We Say Goodbye.

In Before We Say Goodbye, the complexities of family relationships and the impact of unresolved pasts take center stage. Olivia, a woman who has built a life with her husband and two sons, grapples with the haunting memories of her first love, Richie. When her mother passes away, Olivia receives a message that compels her to seek out Richie, forcing her to confront the choices that shaped her life. This unexpected turn of events leads her to question the very foundation of her current family and the life she has created.

As Olivia embarks on this journey of self-discovery, she reflects on her teenage love and the lingering feelings that still resonate within her. The narrative delves deep into themes of love, loss, and the notion of second chances. The tension between her past and present becomes palpable as Olivia navigates her emotions and the potential consequences of reconnecting with Richie. Readers will find themselves on an emotional rollercoaster, torn between the allure of what could have been and the responsibilities of the life she has built.

Before We Say Goodbye is a poignant exploration of the choices we make and the paths we take. It challenges the idea of perfect endings and highlights the beauty and messiness of human relationships. With rich character development and a compelling storyline, this novel captures the essence of longing and the quest for closure in a world where second chances can be both a blessing and a curse.
