Year of Goodbyes

by Phoenix!

Twenty five years old Arabella steps out of the plane and breathes the fresh air of Arizona. It has been 6 years since she left, but nothing much has changed, except her. Memories of the past came flooding in like an avalanche in her brain. . .

Arabella is going home for the first time in 6 years to take care of her mother. Her mother knows she is bringing her 5 year old daughter with her, they have never met, but her BFF and the BFF's brother and parents have no idea she has a child.

There is a good reason, at least Belle thinks it is good, as to why she up and left the summer after she graduated from high school not telling anyone. She has been in contact with her mother the past 6 years, has gotten a teaching degree and has been raising her daughter as a single mother.

Make it available on Amazon you would have more readers no one wants to buy coins for every chapter. So sad your losing so much money limiting your platforms.

[Kelly Snow]

Would love to read please put on Amazon so can buy looks like might be really good but i do not like that Dreame site. Please put on different forums or even print book I'd buy that.

[Jacque]

Where can I read this other than Dreame?

The story idea is amazing. However, the auther repeats a lot of the story in the first 10 or more chapters. When she changes to writing Liam and Belle's POV chapters the story runs smoother.

There aare a LOT, and I mean a LOT of grammar and spelling errors. There are also a lot of times when the author is writing in first person then changes to second person or the narratoe. It is hard to figure out at first but I got ued to it.

If all of the errors in grammaar and spelling, along with a fixing of the story so thst the person telling the story is the correct person and the story doesn't move between people without a seguae I would have given it *****.

Why oh why do you tease us like this I really like reading this book but you have to buy all these coins I rather buy it so I can keep it for myself please let us buy it

This book would be great if you provided a way to just it right purchase or get on Kindle unlimited. I get most of my books from Amazon and track them on here. If I can't teach it on Goodreads then I don't read it. No one wants too pay for every chapter. The book itself is great though

[Laura-Lynn Fink · Rating 5 out of 5]

So far so good. Gets really expensive to read tho constantly having to buy coins. You going to lose a lot of readers that way.

Good story line but it reads as a first draft with many errors.

[Monica Monk · Rating 1 out of 5]

Won’t finish it. I started to, but you should make it available in other places… not worth buying coins for. I liked how it started, don’t like being “forced” to buy coins for the next chapter when I would rather just buy the darn book and not have to worry about it.

Why won't it allow me to read this book 😕

[Felicia Mason · Rating 1 out of 5]

This appears to be a good read, but who wants to pay to read each chapter. Please make it available different way. I’m giving this one star because of the purchasing of coins.

[Chloe]

Love the story so far but I am bummed you have to buy coins to read after chapter 10. How many chapters are in this story?? I would love to continue reading but I can't afford to spend money as I have to take care of my baby boy

[Siara Saylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really great storyline I definitely could not put it down at all! There were some grammar errors and then the perspective would change from first person to second person to another first person point of view but the concept behind the story line was awesome!!

[Crystal D. Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Even with the errors I would like to read more but not going to do it in this app thing. Guess I will move on to a different book.

[Elaine Barnes]

Read the first 6 chapters and has me gripped. Want to read more.

[Ramona Noyb]

It’s a really good book. Pulls you in from the start.

[Tina · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's a great book however it cost me over $50 to read on Dreme! That part was ridiculous! I loved the story, I couldn't put it down, I would love to read more of this author's novels but I will never buy them from Dreame! I first paid $34.99 which I thought was high to begin with then you had to keep buying coins to unlock the next chapter's at $5.99 for 600 coins! It was over $50 by the time I was done! That part really upset me because the story was so good I wanted to see how it ended so they got me! This book needs to be on Amazon at one price period not this bs! Don't fall for it! The books is good but you'll go broke reading from Dreame! Kindle is way cheaper!,

[Terina Wimberly · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed reading this book

[Emma · Rating 1 out of 5]

This book feels like it was written by a 12 year old with poor English skills. It keeps switching between past tense and present tense. The number of grammatical errors in just the first few chapters are endless. This book is unreadable.

[Jack Line · Rating 3 out of 5]

Its interesting how can I read ta whole book

[Sarah Mcburnie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing story lots of typo mistakes apart from that I loved it so sad and has you gripped right from the start

[Pauline · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing book, can't wait to read the entire book

[Bridgett R · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Great book. No details left out. His point of view and as always her point of view. What caused Arebella to leave all those years ago? And who is the mysterious girl who Liam kicked out of his room after his drunk breakup with Jenny? Does either have anything to do with the other? Read YEAR OF GOODBYES now and find out.

[Eva King · Rating 1 out of 5]

DNF. Read the free chapters. It's a good story, but this book hasn't seen an editor.
It's confusing. The first few chapters are written in third person. After the fourth, then it's written in first person... Never mind the spelling and grammar mistakes.

[Leelavathi Velagala]

Superb

[DB Alderete]

It has a very nice story but it is expensive buying coins every chapter.
