About this listen

Before You Say Goodbye by Sarah Gate has been recognised as the second-place winner in the Romance category of Feathered Quill’s 2025 Book Awards!

Autumn has found the love of her life.

Now she has to say goodbye.

When lonely author Autumn meets shy musician Bowie in New York, they fall head over heels and into their forever.

But not everyone gets their happily ever after.

Bowie has just six months left to live. And just like that, Autumn’s entire life has been rewritten.

Embraced by his loving, unconventional family, Autumn returns with Bowie to England to live out the rest of his life by his side. But over the course of that summer, the decisions Autumn makes will help her move on, even after love and loss.

Decisions, it emerges, that were orchestrated by Bowie before they said goodbye.

I wasn’t sure about the subject matter, but quickly got sucked in and loved it. Despite a couple of bits that it seemed the author had just ‘thrown randomly in’ without weaving in (Mum asking if the children had helped Bowie on his way, for one). It was a lovely read.

A couple of times I found myself near to tears, which is great writing. The characters were really well formed and the narration perfect.

Throughly enjoyed it - surprisingly!

what a fantastic book,
A lot of love shown in so many ways, fell in love with all the characters, a beautiful family who live love and suffer loss. Autumn doesn't realise how much her life is going to change when she meets a new friend Bluebell.
I didn't want it to end. Great Narrating
