Bye Forever, I Guess makes an excellent case for wanting more for ourselves in all areas of our lives, and for insisting on being seen, even if it s awkward or scary at first. Meadows middle grade debut is a well-written, winning coming-of-age tale with loads of hilarity, empathy and heart.

Publishers Weekly (starred review)

A hilarious enemies-to-something-more tale, told equally in prose and text messages, this book is sure to please any middle schooler in need of a sweet romance. Hand to fans of Cory Doctorow s In Real Life (2014) and Alexis Nedd s Don t Hate the Player (2021).
Booklist (starred review)

A must for young rom-com fans.
Bulletin of the Center for Children s Books

Charming, funny, and endearing.
