The Goodbye Boyfriend Christina Benjamin

Why did he have to say hello, when she could only say goodbye?


Everybody likes Nathan Hawthorne. But he's looking for more. More life, more love, more reasons to live. After the sudden death of his brother, Nate moves to New Orleans, hoping a fresh start will bring him clarity. His easy smile and California charm wins him the attention of every girl at his new school. Too bad he only has eyes for Camille.

Camille LaRue is a nobody, and she likes it that way. Her life has always been painfully predictable. And with only a few more ticks to check off her bucket list, she has her senior year perfectly planned. And none of those plans include falling in love. Until Nick comes crashing into her life.

When Nate says "Hello" to Camille, everything changes with one simple word. But she's afraid to risk her heart. Luckily for Camille, Nate knows the best things in life are worth fighting for. He brings chaos into her orderly life, showing her just how much life she still has left to live.


A stand-alone love story about a boy who learns to live, from a girl who wants to die.
