Review: "Goodbye Days: A Novel," by Jeff Zentner

When Carver Briggs sends a text to his friends asking where they are, he doesn't know that by reading that text, his friends will be killed in a car accident. He doesn't understand that now he can be charged with fault in their deaths because he knowingly sent a text to the driver of the car that crashed. What will become of Carver's life now that his best friends are gone? How can he grieve and move on knowing that his action caused their deaths? Ripped from the headlines, Jeff Zentner's Goodbye Days is a wake-up call to teens texting and driving.

Mrs. Denney's Rating: ***
