She had a strategic plan for everything in her life... except for a dying heart and a broken family.
This moving, standalone novel from the Goodbye With Love series is a tribute to second chances, brave hearts, and the unbreakable bonds we forge on the way to goodbye.For thirty-eight years, Samantha ‘Sam’ Brooks has measured her life in successful campaigns, quarterly reports, and a meticulously organized schedule. Her greatest achievement? Building a fortress of ambition that kept everyone out—especially her family.
But when a doctor gives her a prognosis measured in months, not years, Sam’s carefully constructed world collapses.
Suddenly, the only metric that matters is her list of regrets, and at the top of the list are the three people she pushed away: her cheerful, conflict-avoidant mother; her stoic, distant father; and the angry, estranged sister she barely knows.
Refusing to let her story end in silence, Sam, the ultimate project manager, creates one last, audacious campaign. Codenamed The Last Summer List.
The objective: Lure her estranged family into a 30-foot RV for a chaotic, coast-to-coast road trip designed to heal a decade of wounds.
The problem? They have no idea what they’ve signed up for.
From awkward silences at forgotten childhood landmarks to explosive confessions in Nashville honky-tonks, what begins as a hostile takeover of their lives becomes a messy, hilarious, and heartbreaking journey back to each other. With every mile, the walls between them crumble. With every shared memory, a piece of their broken past is rebuilt.
But Sam is running on borrowed time. And as her body gets weaker, she must face the ultimate question:
Can one last summer truly fix a lifetime of mistakes?
Perfect for fans of Jojo Moyes and Taylor Jenkins Reid, this unforgettable, tear-jerking novel is a powerful reminder that life is measured in moments, not years, and that sometimes, the most beautiful journeys are the ones that lead us home.
This is a complete, standalone novel and can be read on its own.
