Liz (Buddie) Callow is a radio news reporter in Washington, D.C. These days, she is caring for her closest friend, Chris, who lives on a horse farm in Virginia and has never needed Buddie more—Chris’s health is increasingly precarious.
Accompanied to a gay rights rally by a homophobic colleague, Buddie interviews high-powered organizer Kate McGowan...And Buddie’s already complicated life turns a new corner.
Kate is alluring, charming, talented—but anguish from the past festers a brother, dead in a boating tragedy in which Kate was involved...And, beautiful, dangerous first love Rachel, whose behavior in the past does not deter her plans for Kate’s future...
Buddie, somehow, must use the health of her own life to contend with homophobia in her job, to bring strength to Kate—and to Chris.
This potent, utterly believable story of contemporary lesbian life and love and friendship will touch you to the core.

This is the first book to ever make me cry. It's well written and makes you realize you should always take a chance. The book is a quick read though. Just give yourself a couple of hours of uninteruption and you'll be through it.Product details

There Will Be No Goodbyes edition by Laura DeHart Young Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Buddie Callow is taking care of her terminally-ill best friend, Chris. Chris has an incurable heart condition. Buddie is reluctant to have a social life because she wants to have as much quality time with Chris as possible. However, one day during an interview for her radio station, Buddie meets the enigmatic Kate McGowan. Although Kate insinuates herself into Buddie's life and befriends Chris, Buddie is unsure about their relationship.
A hopeful medical treatment for Chris improves her health and allows Buddie the freedom to explore things with Kate. However, after she realizes she's in love with Kate, Buddie realizes Kate harbors many skeletons in her closet and may never be able to return her love.
An intense love story with multiple layers, a strong plot with depth, lovable characters with dimensionality, and an artful author make this a wonderful book. Buy it. Read it. Share it with friends. Keep it on your bookshelf for years to come. This is a classic that deserves to be read again and again.
I have read other books by this author and really enjoyed them. So imagine my disappointment with this one.
The characters are horribly cardboard. It is almost like the author took every sterotypical crisis, threw them into a pot, and pulled out this book. Plus, the story jumps around so much that you can't get a good feel for any of the characters.
Although Liz's job at the radio station does lead to her meeting Kate, all the other scenes concerning her job could be deleted because they do nothing to advance the plot. (It almost feels like the author included them in order to have some conflict.)
**SPOILER ALERT**
While Chris's illness is central to the story, even that seems forced. She's sick, she gets better, she dies. Her death, although intended to be the climax of the book, is almost glossed over. (Though granted, that could just be because the reader knows Chris is going to die.)
**END SPOILER ALERT**
Even the love story is convoluted. The relationship with Liz and Kate is never really developed. Liz spends most of the book sleeping with and claiming to be in love with Kate, but keeps pining over Chris.
Unless you have a lot of free time and a high tolerance for cheesiness, skip this book.
This is the first book to ever make me cry. It's well written and makes you realize you should always take a chance. The book is a quick read though. Just give yourself a couple of hours of uninteruption and you'll be through it.
