Thank you Caitlin Moss and @netgalley for this advanced reader e-copy in exchange for my honest review.

📚”Fated to meet.Destined to love.Bound to fall apart.
In Julia Waters’s world, everything is easily explained. Simple, uncomplicated, logical. Until she meets JP Chapman on a cross-country flight, the handsome kindergarten teacher charms her with his wit, humor, and irresistible smile. While spending a magical night wandering the streets of Seattle, the two stumble upon a fortune teller who predicts their futures will forever be entwined.
But sometimes the road to love isn’t a straight line. Over the span of five years, careers, different cities, and missed chances stand in the way of them being together….”

♥️this was my first book by Caitlin Moss and I am so excited to check out more by her. This book was beautiful, raw and a little heart wrenching. The story of Julia and JP was lovely and so real. Timing truly is everything. I was completely invested in their love story and was yearning for them to finally get their timing right.
There was such emotion in this book - Julia’s relationship with her mother left me teary quite a few times.

I hope you will read it and love it as much as I did. @caitlinmossauthor I absolutely adored this book. Thank you for trusting me to be an ARC reader. ♥️ I hope this will become a movie - would make the perfect rom-com!

Goodbye again is the first book I've read written by Caitlin Moss. This book takes you on an emotional rollercoaster.

When Julie and JP meet on a cross-country flight they have an immediate connection that is very sweet. During their first night out together they decided to see a fortune teller who says to Julia "you will have many loves, but most of them will be him". What does that mean??

This book takes place over 5 years and it describes "right person wrong time" perfectly. you will find yourself feeling a multitude of emotions until the very last page.

Thank You @netgalley and Caitlin Moss for the copy of the e-arc to review.

I devoured this one in just a couple of days, it was that good!!! The chemistry of these two was just so on point. I absolutely love the right person, wrong time trope and this was executed perfectly.

I absolutely loved the one liners from Julia and JP. The chance meetings and how raw the feelings and emotions were. My gosh, it was just so beautifully done.

I also adored the dreams with her grandma. It brought tears to my eyes every single time and made me miss my grandma dearly.

I will absolutely recommend this to everyone and I already want to read it again!

I truly don’t think I could ever read anything by Caitlin and not be crying like a baby! This book was no exception and had me weeping until the end!

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again, there is something so poetic and beautiful about Caitlin’s writing. I highlighted a good 42% (IYKYK) of this book! So many quotes and feel good moments that I need to remember.

The story and love shared between JP and Julia is beautiful and tragic. So many chances until they finally got it right! I don’t even know what other words or things I can say to describe my love for this book, but please go find out for yourself when it comes out in September!

I’ll never be able to look at Taco Bell the same again! And now I want a tiny taco tattoo to forever remember this book!

I enjoyed this latest by Caitlin Moss! I love books that span many years and this one did that well. Because of the length of time covered, the characters were very well developed. There was an emotional aspect much like the rest of the author’s books that added to the overall plot. I liked this one!

Julia and JP meet on a flight going cross country, they have instant chemistry, and I was interested to see where this would go. I didn’t expect them to meet a fortune telling to see what would happen with their relationship. After reading this I found this to be a great example to you can truly find your one anywhere even if you don’t know it yet. This was the first book by this author and it won’t be my last.

Really beautiful love story, including many different kinds of love, and the right person wring time trope. I think this is so well written and i love how there are multiple sideplots, but they all come together so well. I think the story is well thought out with such beautiful characters. I only wish we couldve learned even more about JP.

Thank you to netgalley and the author for sending me the book in exchange for an honest review.

Firstly, I want to thank NetGalley and Caitlin Moss for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was the first book that I’ve read by Caitlin Moss and from the very first chapter, I couldn’t help but smile! Julia and JP’s relationship started out so cute and playful. I loved the way that they felt so comfortable with one another from the start.

On their first night out together, Julia and JP decided to go to a fortune teller and the fortune teller told Julia: "you will have many loves. But most of them will be him." These words made you wonder what was going to happen to them and what the fortune teller meant.

Over the course of the next five years, we see all the missed chances and the emotional rollercoaster that both of these characters experience. Just when you think they’ve finally figured it out, Julia and JP are constantly being torn apart again and again.

The unpredictability of this romance kept me 100% hooked and I never knew what would happen next! Caitlin Moss did an incredible job with writing these characters and their love story. You couldn’t help but cheer them on and relate to them in some way or another. We all have experienced missed chances, loss, and getting so close to something, but then having it taken away! I honestly couldn’t put the book down. I would highly recommend this book!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for the ARC of Goodbye Again in exchange for an honest review.

Oh, this book had me crying, giggling, smiling, frowning and everything in between. You will be captivated by the heartfelt story of "Goodbye Again" by Caitlin Moss. This book was so beautifully written. It follows a couple who are faced with challenging circumstances, their hearts breaking each time fate pushes them apart.
With a strong and determined FMC and a 'if he wanted to he would' type of MMC, their journey explores themes of grief, toxic relationships, and the complexities of timing.
Caitlin Moss was able to mix all these elements together, delivering a poignant and emotionally resonant read. I wholeheartedly recommend diving into to this book completely blind. It will stay with you for a long time.

4.5 Stars!

Read if you like:
- Insta love / Attraction
- Fated Lovers
- Emotional Rollercoaster
- Right person, wrong time × 100
- Angst

This book was the perfect example of meeting the right person unexpectedly and falling for them madly only to be separated over & over again.
There were so many circumstances that kept the MCs apart and it was quite annoying to be honest. But also at the same time, some of them were valid reasons as well.

Anyhoo, all worked out in the end!

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I loved this book although it had me on an emotional roller coaster. After a chance meeting Julia and JP encounter a fortune teller that tells them their future will be entwined. Unfortunately that future doesn’t happen in the next few years. There is always an obstacle standing in their way. This book is very angsty in a good way as Julia and JP live their separate lives and have chance encounters. I really enjoyed the writing and the depth of the characters. It was great to see their personal growth as they dealt with the setbacks in their lives and their complicated relationship.

I have read previous titles from Caitlin Moss and really enjoyed them, and this one was no exception. Wow this book will cause you to feel so many emotions and keep you guessing on what will happen next. It’s the type of book where you keep saying, “I’ll just read one more chapter.”, but then hours later are still full immersed in it. I loved the development of the characters and how well the story progressed. I wasn’t left feeling confused about any parts or wishing that there was more depth anywhere: I will absolutely recommend this book to others and look forward to reading future releases from Caitlin Moss.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC to review. All opinions are my own.
