Really enjoyed the book. Definitely different to my usual crime read.

Unfortunately I haven't read this book yet, but it sounds a really good read.

A very touching story about an extremely difficult topic. I thought the story was very engaging and definitely highlights the importance of people signing up to the organ donor register.

I loved this book. It was the best I have read this year

Thanks Mumsnet for my copy. I loved the story and wasn't expecting the twist at the end! Important to highlight the importance of organ donation. I would recommend it and will look out for other books by the same author. Thanks again.

I haven't read this book. I see that I am too late to enter the giveaway, so will have to make a point of buying it as it looks good.

I've not read this and didn't fancy the subject but will look out for her other books.

Touching and thought provoking

This is on my book shelf to read at the moment, but I did enjoy The Missing Husband last year so have high hopes for this one.

A heartbreaking topic and one book that had me hooked from the start. I thought I knew the direction of the story but wasn't expecting the twist. I will certainly look out for more from this author.

very emotional, cried!

Brilliant book that is very well written

This is the first book that I have read by Amanda Brooke and I will be looking for more of her books as I really enjoyed reading it. The book was well written and I couldn't put it down, I liked how all the characters were linked and I liked the twists and turns in the book. Organ donation is a tricky subject to deal with but I think Amanda deals with it well and whilst it could have been a depressing read it wasn't at all.

another excellent book by Amanda Brooke. Very sad and needed quite a few tissues when reading. A wonderful book!

This is a book i borrowed from a friend and i wish i hadn't. It wasn't for me. The characters are unlikeable and without depth. Number one on my hit list is Helen who at the very least is a miserable demanding person. At worst she is a bully and terrible mother.

The writing itself for me lacked quality and its not a book i'll ever pick up again to reread.

not read this yet xx

Lots going on here and many characters, so need to concentrate!

No not yet, I am waiting for my sister to finish it. She has rated it so must be good!

Thank you Mumsnet for my copy. I thought the plotting was very good, with enough twists to keep it interesting even though the gist of the ending was somewhat predictable. However, I didn't find any of the main characters really believable; they all seemed a bit wooden and the central relationship between Julia, Helen, Phoebe & Paul failed to convince.

Not for me. It didn't grab my attention. I found it easy to put down and go and do something else. Repetitive and dare I say boring.

I have recently received this book from Mumsnet.
I have read Amanda Brooke's previous books before, I really enjoyed her style and the way she is able to tell the story. The Goodbye Gift follows three best friends - Julia, Helen, and Phoebe. All live different lives, different problems, and all hiding different secrets.
I really enjoyed this book.

I thought the story was good and something that could invoke a lot of emotions in the reader but I didn't think it was written as well as it could have been.

I enjoyed reading this book and getting to know the characters of Julia, Helen and Phoebe in particular. I was a little annoyed by the typos and the fact that at one point Helen manages to do so much laundry by 10:30 on a Sunday morning that she has nowhere to put it down - she must have a very fast washer and dryer! However it was a page turner once I had gotten into it and I will be looking out for other books by this author.

Didn't enjoy this book as I thought I would and was really hard to keep going.

I'd love to have a read of this book
