Online Young Adult Book Discussion
November 1 to 30 Teens are invited to join in this online book discussion available at any time of day from anywhere for any teen of: What Happened to Goodbye by Sarah Dessen.
After a scandal involving her mother and a famous college basketball coach rocked her family and her hometown, McClean decided to live with her dad. His job as a restaurant consultant requires they move often, and at each new place she carefully selects who she'll be – Eliza, Beth, or some other new name. It's easier this way for McClean, who is reluctant to form any true attachments. Then at their latest stop, she does something she's not done in a long while...reveal her real name. But who is this McClean, and is she ready to forgive her mother, fall for the boy next door, and finally stick around?
