A book that makes you believe
some things are meant to be.
The first time, they didn't say goodbye.
The second time, they were in New York, and they said goodbye, but her heart returned home confused, embarrassed, and empty.
The third time, they're back in Evermere, saying goodbye, and her heart feels heavy, tight, disoriented.
But destiny isn't done leading them back to each other.
How many goodbyes does it take?

Rate my book on GoodreadsCatarina Wengorovius is a Portuguese writer passionate about storytelling and who has been inventing worlds since she was about five years old, filling notebooks with tales of royal families, fairies and mermaids, comic strips about animals, secret adventures and so much more — many of which her mother has lovingly kept safe in boxes in the garage.
How Many Goodbyes started as an attempt to mend a broken heart, and a way to fill the pauses between pages of her master's thesis in Statistical Modeling and Data Analysis.


When Catarina isn't writing, you can find her barefoot at the beach, rain or shine, or happily lost in one of her many hands-on hobbies: sculpting miniatures out of polymer clay, building Lego sets and DIY miniature houses, painting, journaling, cutting and gluing collages, or discovering the next of her thousand creative pastimes yet to come.
How Many Goodbyes is her debut novel.
