How do you move on when the love of your life is suddenly gone?

Ten years after their separation Daniel and Lara are still adrift - haunted by what was and what might have been. She was vibrant, strong-willed, maddeningly imperfect - and she was everything to him. Now, in the aftermath of loss, they both find themselves retracing the contours of their relationship, clinging to memories while confronting the painful void left in the wake of their ending.

But grief doesn't follow a straight path. As they struggle to find solace, secrets emerge, truths unravel, and unexpected encounters force them to reckon with their past. Set against the quiet, everyday backdrop of modern life, Sometimes Goodbye is a tender, sharply observed exploration of love, regret, and the invisible threads that tether us to one another - forever.

Profoundly moving and laced with dark humour, Clancey Douglas's debut novel captures the chaos of love and loss with stunning emotional honesty. For anyone who has ever loved, lost, or stood at the edge of goodbye - this is your story.
