Review

"Dessen’s talent is creating just that comfortable space for young adults struggling with identity, relationships, and all that messy family stuff. Her quirky characters reach out to one another to forge genuine friendships and gentle first loves." — The Horn Book"Dessen’s fans will be happy to devour this latest offering." — SLJ"Dessen once again offers a substantive, well-crafted exploration of a teen’s life that will deeply satisfy her legions of fans." — Booklist"Dessen’s prose is clean and focused, the characters are developed and real, and the plot is believable. Mclean’s journey through the healing process after her parents’ divorce provides bibliotherapy for any teen dealing with family issues, and the secondary plot of tentative steps toward trust and friendship is beautiful. This is a must-have for any young adult collection." — VOYA

After her mother’s public affair and her parents’ subsequent divorce, McLean and her dad have moved – a lot. Every town is an opportunity to become a new version of herself: Eliza, Lizbet, each with different interests and personalities. When McLean and her dad move to Lakeview, she meets brilliant but accidental delinquent Dave and makes friends, while still trying to deal with her incessant mother’s attempts at reconnecting. If Along for the Ride didn’t signal a bit of a decline for Sarah, this book did it. While it’s an unique enough concept, in execution this book falls flat and forced. I found this book to be rambling without much of a focus, and it never feels as if the story has a clear direction or motivation. The “climax” didn’t make sense, and while I enjoyed the characters enough, What Happened to Goodbye was just okay upon a reread.

Anyone who is a fan of Dessen and has read her works can basically agree that in her last few releases the charm of her romances has seemed to be brewed down to almost a formula for charming romances. Which unfortunately removes all the charm. The adorable romances we have enjoyed in her first entries are just flat in the last few. I was completely convinced What Happened to Goodbye would be another victim of this unfortunate trend and it took me a long time to even pick it up. The summary of the book didn't help. "McLean" and her multiple personalities seemed a bit contrived to me in the summary.Here now finally that I have actually read the book I feel badly that it took so long for me to give it a chance. The story, characters, and romance in What Happened to Goodbye are nice, strong, and charming. I'm not saying it is Keeping the Moon or even Just Listen but I thoroughly enjoyed it. The plot was not hollow or perfectly predictable. The issues on the table were complex and interesting to delve into. Even the side topis were interesting.I would recommend that any Dessen fan even those that have felt put out recently to give it a shot. It won't be your favorite but it is a good read nonetheless.If I had to complain it would be that Dessen seems to be entirely too interested in referencing former locations and characters. I think this is more distracting and hollow than it is enjoyable. Using the same locations is one thing but inserting all the old characters awkwardly just isn't enjoyable to me especially since it seems slapped in rather than carefully fit in.It also comes off as a bit rushed in the end. I think this has always been the case for Sarah Dessen as she really likes the build up and not so much the resolution and I am sort of okay with that. It leaves you to draw your own conclusions. There was also maybe less resolution with the romance as there normally is and I didn't love that but I did get it. The books ultimately thesis is coming to terms with who you are and that is something entirely independent to teenage romantic relationships and I appreciate that she didn't make it seem like it was. The romance was still fulfilling in my opinion.In summary it is not the best or worse of her works but it was thoroughly enjoyable and a positive step back towards charming quirky romance.

Bless you, Sarah Dessen. I read a lot of paranormal, science fiction, etc., but sometimes I need something of this world. Something without werewolves, faeries, vampires, or fallen angels. Sometimes I need real people with real problems. Something without centuries old vendettas or grudges between Greek, Roman, or Norse Gods and Goddesses. And certainly, sometimes I just need a sweet story, full of love, mistakes, life, and people. Real people. People people. And when I feel this urge, I know Sarah Dessen is waiting for me like a best friend after a catastrophe. She always makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside, and What Happened to Goodbye is no exception!Mclean is the daughter of a basketball fanatic. A Defriese U basketball fanatic to be entirely accurate. Her parents lives consisted of running their restaurant and their favorite team's stats. When the longtime coach retired, a new, younger coach takes over... both the team and Mclean's life. Her mother eventually leaves her father for the new coach, sending Mclean's life into a tailspin. Now she lives with her father, but where they live is constantly changing.After the divorce he accepted a job traveling to different restaurants and bringing them back to life. This means Mclean Elizabeth Sweet gets to reinvent herself every few months. She has been Liz, Eliza, Beth, Lizbet... everyone except Mclean. But something happens in this new town. In Lakeview, she accidentally lets Mclean out of the box and can't seem to put her away. She makes an odd group of misfit friends, meets a boy she can't quite peg (which is intriguing), and even begins to like the people at the restaurant her father is supposed to either save or abandon. When things start to fall apart and her father is preparing to move on again, Mclean realizes she has been hiding from who she really is since the divorce. Can Mclean really become Mclean again? If she becomes who she once was, will all the pain and betrayal come back too?I like this story, because it really examines the consequences of divorce. I happen to be the child of two happily married parents, but that isn't terribly common these days. In fact, I am never surprised to hear a student's parents are in the process of or already divorced. But even with the high divorce rate in this country, the act of a kids parents splitting up is still traumatizing. Sometimes I think we even trivialize it if we aren't in the middle of it, and that just makes me sad. What we forget is how many kids are out there who are suffering from divorce and how that affects them in every aspect of their life. This book really shows how one young woman, despite two parents who love her deeply, can be damaged by their separation. It doesn't beat around the bush, or soften the blow; instead it just gives you a peak at her life, for good or for bad. You won't be able to forget Mclean or what has happened to her.As is typical of Dessen, this book has very clean language and scenarios. Dessen doesn't need harsh language or adult situations to make you feel for her characters. All she needs is the Dessen touch to help you get to know them. This book would be good for any young woman or young man (although probably more likely a young woman), middle school through high school, depending on the reading level. I think it might be particularly helpful for any child who has recently gone through a parents' divorce and is still feeling the consequences of the divorce. Sometimes, kids just need to know there is someone else out there who has been through the same tough times and come out on the other end just fine.
