The Farewell Season by Ann Herrick


Amazon  /  Goodreads

The Farewell Season is about Eric, a high school football player who is grieving the loss of his father. With the new football season about to start, Eric is hoping that his life will return to normal again. That hope gets shredded when he starts fighting more with his sister, best friend Rolf, and his mother.

I absolutely loved this book. This was a quick read that held my interest from page one. The Farewell Season is an inspirational book that would tremendously help any young adult who's dealing or has dealt with a loss in their life. I know from experience, I lost my father five years ago.   I am not a football lover, however my father was and I wanted to point out that this book isn't all about football, its more about Eric, his family, and his grieving.  There is a little sweet innocent romance which was refreshingly simple. Ann Herrick has a wonderful way with words and and the characters were realistic.  This is a book that will make you cry, laugh, and sigh with a smile at the end.

Overall, I really enjoyed The Farewell Season. Ann Herrick did an amazing job and has made a new fan!

5 out of 5 stars
