Jeff Zentner is the acclaimed author of The Serpent King. In addition to writing, he is also a singer-songwriter and guitarist who has recorded with Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, and Debbie Harry.

Carver Briggs never thought a text would cause a fatal crash, killing his three best friends. But now Carver can't stop blaming himself and a powerful judge is pressuring the district attorney to open up a criminal investigation. The heart-breaking and at times humorous look at how Carver navigates through the guilt and pain by celebrating their lives--and ultimately learning to forgive himself.
"Gorgeous, heartbreaking, and ultimately life-affirming." -Nicola Yoon, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Everything, Everything.
Perfect for fans of Thirteen Reasons Why, Looking for Alaska, and Zentner's own The Serpent King, one of the most highly acclaimed YA novels of 2016, Goodbye Days asks what you would do if you could spend one last day with someone you lost.
Where are you guys? Text me back. That's the last message Carver Briggs will ever send his three best friends, Mars, Eli, and Blake. He never thought that it would lead to their death.
Now Carver can't stop blaming himself for the accident and even worse, a powerful judge is pressuring the district attorney to open up a criminal investigation.
Luckily, Carver has some unexpected allies: Eli's girlfriend, the only person to stand by him at school; Dr. Mendez, his new therapist; and Blake's grandmother, who asks Carver to spend a "goodbye day" together to share their memories and say a proper farewell.
Soon the other families are asking for their own goodbye day with Carver-but he's unsure of their motives. Will they all be able to make peace with their losses, or will these goodbye days bring Carver one step closer to a complete breakdown or-even worse-prison?
"Jeff Zentner, you perfectly fill the John-Green-sized hole in our heart."
"Evocative, heartbreaking, and beautifully written." -Buzzfeed
"Masterful." -TeenVogue.com
"Hold on to your heart: this book will wreck you, fix you, and most definitely change you." -Becky Albertalli, Morris Award-winning author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
