This book I really didn't want to read it was just an assignement but when I got up to about the 5th chapter I didn't want to put it down.. I really wish the author would have wrote a sequal because I didn't want the book to end. I don't like reading very much but after reading this it was amazing. The book relates so well and the characters are picked so perfect, but it has sad and happy qualities. I don't know how people can write a book this good but she gets an appluase from me because I loved it!

I love this booK! It's so great. What happens is that a girl named Star (no last name...if Madonna doesn't need one, neither does she) has to live in a place called "Hope House" where people go when their diseases take a turn for the worse. She finds her first "real" friend there, but is afraid that when her friend Courtney finds out how sick she really is with CF, she's afraid that Courtney will hate her guts.
This is a great book--I think anyone will love it!

'goodbye best friend' is a brilliant book. I also suffer from Cystic Fibrosis and I can relate to all the problems Star had. If you enjoyed this book you should read One Last Wish-A time to Die by Lurlene McDaniel as it also features a teenage girl with Cystic Fibrosis but it goes into life with CF more than 'goodbye best friend'

I'm an avid reader. From the time I first picked up a book till now I've had thousands pass by my fingers, and only a few have I truly loved.

This book tops them all. Not only is it emotional and touching, but it draws you in quickly and leaves you breathless at the end.

This book is one anyone, of any age should read, if just for the travel you take during it. No one can truly explain to you what you'll experiance while reading it, but you won't be the same person you were at the begining, when you finish.

I didn't read this book, but i did play Courtney in the play John Lennon and Me by Cherie Bennett. IT is based on this book. It follows the story of Star, and her best friend Courtney. The play was touching and if any of you are in Theatre class out there! Don't miss the chance to be in this play!

I am 14 year-old. After reading this book I see what it means to have best friends and how to treat them knowing the next day they may not be there. I recomend it for any age , it is a real tear jerker but a great lesson for life. Katie

This story contains a lot of information, and a lot of meaning. The author (Cherie Bennett) really put attitude into the story. It's deals with many teen-age problems and has characters that are easy to understand. It shows how hard Cystic fibrosis can be on a young girl's life. Good-bye, Best Friend is my favorite book, and hopefully your's too
