I read this book for the second time, I read it 2 years ago and I remember I was going through so much that it really helped me through everything. I thought it'd be a good book to read again.

The book Telling Christina Goodbye by Lurlene McDaniel is a good book about a girl named Trisha who gets into a very horrible car accident in which her best friend Christina dies. Besides that her boyfriends in a coma, and Christina’s boyfriend, who was driving the car, left with barely a scratch. She did survive the accident, but its hard for her to live each day without her best friend by her side. This fiction story is very interesting. It is definitely a page turner in my book.

I really, really liked this book. It's propably one of my favourites that i've ever read. It's a really emotional read and has alot of anger and sadness throughout the whole book. It keeps you guessing what the outcome will be, and keeps you very interested. The target audience is obviously teenagers, as its set mainly in a high school and deals with alot of very realistic type of problems that teenagers today could be dealing with. I highly recomend this book. :)

Trisha Thompson and her best friend Christina are having a great senior year. Trisha and her boyfriend, Cody, are making plans to attend Indiana University together in the fall, while Christina has already received a scholarship to the University of Vermont. Everything would be perfect if only Trisha got along with Christina’s controlling boyfriend Tucker, who is trying to convince Christina not to go away for college. But suddenly their lives change one night when Tucker is driving the four h...more

This was my first Lurlene McDaniel novel and one of my favorites. It really made my heart wrench from the beginning when Trisha's best friend, Christina, is killed in a car accident when her boyfriend Tucker was driving. Trisha's boyfriend, I forget his name, was also in the car along with Trisha, and suffers from some memory loss after waking up from a coma. It was eye opening after all these years to think back and relate those accidents to what could happen in the MHS student parking lot! I r...more

Christina is a high school girl with a best friend named Trisha, a best friend that is Trisha's boyfriend Cody, and a boyfriend named Tucker. They get into a accident coming home from a basketball game and Tucker was fuming. He wasn't paying attention and was going too fast. Tucker is okay, a few cuts and bruises, Trisha has a broken leg, Cody is in coma, and Christina is dead. Read to see how Tucker and Trisha cope with Christinas death and codys coma.

This is a great book! It is about this girl named Trisha and her best friend (Christina) and Christina's boyfriend is really pushy and mean. So, one night they are on their way home from a basketball game and they wreck. It leaves Cristina dead, her boyfriend walks away with only a scratch, Cody (Christna's friend and Trisha's boyfriend) in a coma, and Trisha has a bad head injury. I would recommend this book to anyone 13 and older.

This book was really good. I liked it a lot and it made me very sad and also very interested. It made me not want to put the book down. I would recomend this book to lots of people. This book is about a girl in high school who is doing really well and then all of a sudden it gets turned around when a freak accident happens. It made me learn to enjoy the time I have with my friends because you don't know what could happen tommorow.

I read this book on the recommendation of my teenage daughter. She is a huge fan of McDaniel's books and she wanted the opportunity to share her books like I do mine. This was a sad teenage story that reminded me of the kind of books I enjoyed reading as a teenager. The story of a teenage girl that dies in a tragic car accident is something unfortunately too many teens can relate to.

I really liked this book. It was touching and feels good to read if someone you know has died it's comforting because you can relate to the emotions and feelings. The only thing is that the back of the book tells you who dies so it leaves a big part of the plot that you allready know. I love Lurlene McDaniels books but it seems she has a death obsession.

i had to read this book for a school project. I thought that it was going to be bad but it turned out to be great. I also loved the whole way Lulrene wrote it. It had the best plot and time period. I feel in love with her and want to read many more of her books. Anyone that loves a love story and who isn't afraid to cry should read this book.

This book is the definition of me crying. It's been a few years since I've read this book, but I remember crying so much when I read it! Overall a good book from what I remember. Lurlene McDaniel knows how to write in such a way to grab and hold any girl's attention with books.
