Goodbye For Now

From the author of THIS IS HOW IT ALWAYS IS. ''Fabulous . . . very funny, yet so sad and thought-provoking too. I couldn''t put it down'' Liane Moriarty, author of THE HUSBAND''S SECRET

Laurie Frankel''s heart-breaking but life-affirming novel about finding love and coming to terms with loss is perfect for fans of ONE DAY and ME BEFORE YOU.

Imagine a world in which you never have to say goodbye.

A world in which you can talk to your loved ones after they''ve gone . . .

About the trivial things you used to share

About the things you wish you''d said while you still had the chance

About how hard it is to adjust to life without them.

When Sam Elling invents a computer programme that enables his girlfriend Meredith to do just this, nothing can prepare them for the consequences. For every person who wants to say goodbye, there is someone else who can''t let go. And when tragedy strikes, they have to find out whether goodbye has to be for ever. Or whether love can take on a life of its own . . .

''Enough tears to rival Seattle''s annual rainfall. And yet, GOODBYE FOR NOW is still hopeful and thoughtful and securely rooted in a belief in the essential goodness of which people are capable'' Seattle Times
