Blurb
Once Upon A Time
I dreamed of growing up and being just like her.
I dreamed of having an adoring husband, two kids, and a beautiful home where my family would come together and enjoy all of our happy ever afters.
But Fate Had Other Plans
My road wasn’t easy, it was heartbreaking, and she was there, in the distance, silently supporting me.
When all the angst, all the pain, worked its way out, she was there too, but not how she’d always promised, she was there from an unbridgeable distance.
With distance and broken promises, I began to build a wall.
She would never be the mother she was, and I would not allow her to hinder the mother I am.
Life is nothing without love.
Life is nothing without hope.
Life is nothing without dreams.
And
Life is not lived fully until you understand the finality of… Goodbye.

Review by Lisa Kane
Expect tears to flow with this one! Anytime I get to read about London and Logan and Luke and Ava and Lucas and Tessa (my fav couple!) I feel like I'm spending time with old friends. Crazy old friends, but still characters that I've come to know and love.
Logan is in a world of pain, he's been hiding something from his family for over a year and inside, he's just bleeding. He wants to share with his sister, Ava, but she's just had another baby and he's been sworn to secrecy. London and Logan have been hiding how serious their relationship is-yet another secret.
"You're Logan Links, and you're my forever."
Ava and Luke are in a really good place. Ava just gave birth to baby Faith and together with Hope and Chance, their lives are crazy busy. Luke still wants more kids -this guy is a glutton for punishment!
"Ava," he turns my stool so I'm facing him. "I love you. You love me. Nothing has ever or will ever change that. It's just gonna grow."
But there's one person who isn't as involved in their lives as they would all like and that's going to be the root of this story. There are multiple POV's in this book, and each one adds a layer to all that is unfolding around them.
27 Truths About Their First Goodbye is heartbreakingly beautiful. A hated character finally shows that there are reasons for actions and for distancing yourself from your family. Desperate times call for desperate actions. But sometimes, no matter how hard the fight is, you can't always win.
"Dignity and grace, Ava...Lane. One thing I always tried to hold on to, no matter how hard things got. Dignity and grace. " "And style," I whisper.
The title isn't just a clever take on continuing this series but the 27 Truths actually exist. There is a reason for this title, (cue the sobbing) and each of those 27 reasons is beautiful and sad and so true. I love these characters, I don't think I will ever get tired reading about them.
"Heartstrings to angel wings, Ashley."

Excerpt
It’s
not hard to figure out where my husband’s room is. It’s the one with half the
ER staff, all of the female persuasion, standing outside the door, peering
through the glass windows as if they’re watching a television show.

typically a broody asshole in public, which I prefer, and not for any other
reason than his grin clearly brings on attention, and he’s taken, I even put a
ring on it.

Ava. “But never me. Do you understand? Am I making myself clear?” He starts to
open his mouth, and I sneer, “I am not done yet.”
