Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead
4.0
One story told from three different perspectives.
Bridget was in a devastating accident a few years ago, and even though she has overcome the physical ramifications of it, she is still dealing with the emotional issues. Bridget feels that her life must mean something, because she was saved for a reason, right? Bridgett's friends, Emily and Tabitha, seem to be growing up and outgrowing the threesome's friendship. Bridget just doesn't know how to get back to where she was before the accident.
Sherman is the classic brainy boy, who has a secret crush on a girl. His family has been going through their own issues. Sherm's grandfather left his grandmother and people from three different generations are dealing with the ripples of this decision.
The last perspective is presented by an unknown character, who is going through her own growing pains. She needs to find a way back to herself.
While the description sounds pretty boring, the book was fairly interesting. It addresses growing pains that all go through. I enjoyed the audiobook.
