Zentner, Jeff - Goodbye Days (Paperback)

In Goodbye Days, Carver Briggs is haunted by the deaths of his three best friends — Mars, Eli, and Blake — after a car crash that Carver’s text message inadvertently helped set in motion. Unable to let go of guilt, he’s pressured by grief, public scrutiny, and a judge seeking to press charges.

When Blake’s grandmother invites him to spend a “Goodbye Day” — a day to relive memories and say a proper farewell — Carver reluctantly agrees. As families request their own goodbye days, Carver struggles with whether these moments of closure will heal his wounded spirit or drive him further to the edge.

Jeff Zentner weaves a poignant, raw, and reflective story about loss, friendship, and forgiveness. He doesn’t shy away from the hard questions — about responsibility, grief, and what it means to make amends.
