4/5 stars

I received a copy of The Goodbye Guy through NetGalley in exchange for my honest review.

The Goodbye Guy revolves around Rachel, an interior designer with a tv show, and Beckett, a single dad opening a bar. Rachel’s reality show is dropping in the ratings and in order to try to drum up hype the producers send her back to her roots and Lakeside, her hometown she left twenty years ago. Rachel gets set up to decorate Beckett’s bar, but the history they share gets in the way. Both Rachel and Beckett are stubborn and can’t let go of the past. What starts as hate, turns into something more. They always say there’s a thin line between love and hate, nothing could be more true for Rachel and Beck.

I really enjoyed The Goodbye Guy. It is a well written romance and held my attention all the way through. I liked the tension and past between Beck and Rachel. The duo sometimes reverted to their teenage antics/insecurities, but then they would find themselves again. Overall, The Goodbye Guy was a good romance with an entertaining premise.

Rachel and Beckett’s stories are great! Rachel left home to pursue her talent for design and hadn’t been back in over 20 years. Beck also left home, but had since moved back as a single, ambitious father. Rachel’s successful job brings her back home to help her arch-nemesis with his new business venture. Will they remain enemies or have a different sort of relationship?
This book was great and kept my attention wanting to know what happens next. Would definitely recommend to all!

This romance was not completely enjoyable. The female character was too much of a spoiled rich woman , I really didn’t like her and cheered for the male. To not waste his time and self respect to try to have a relationship with her

I had a lot of high hopes for this book but it fell flat way to fast.
I love the whole interior design show thing it reminded me so much of Flip or Flop or Property Brothers.
What made everything fall flat was Rachel and Beckett acted like they where 12 instead of in there late 30’s early 40’s

Good book! I enjoyed reading this one! The story flowed seamlessly, it was low drama definitely had some steam to it and it was very well written! All and all it was a good read! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
