Before We Say Goodbye is a 4 part short story collection that revolves around time travel and why the characters choose to travel back or forth in time to allow themselves to alleviate regret due to their past actions.
Having read the previous three books in the series, the quality of writing and the plot has not gone down in my opinion. The books stay consistent with the themes of bereavement, regret, longing, and mending relationships that arouses raw emotions in the reader.
If you're looking to read this book, you don't have to start from the first book in the series to understand the plot and the characters; it can be read as a standalone.
