I looked some more and looked some others up, Nothing was catching my eye, I kept going back to Seven Days to Goodbye, I was thinking of asking for it, but at the same time I hesitated still.


I in the end decided to ask for it, I'm really glad I did,

This story is relatable to me in so many ways, Trina is afraid of losing her friend, I feel like I have lost one and am afraid to lose the others,
Trina is nervous around boys and doesn't think about them, Same.
Trina is sad about her old dog I have a dog and try not to think about when that day comes, Trina is not looking forward to giving Sydney back, I understand that.

Some parts of this book made me laugh out loud, some parts I was actually crying,

I'm glad I had the opportunity to read this book,

Thank you for writing it and thank you for letting me read it, Best friends are forever! A story about Trina and Sarah growing up and jealousy, Doing things together and growing apart, It's life.

Trina spends a week at the beach with her parents, service dog in training, Sydney and best friend, The girls laugh and have fun and at the same time jealous of the other, This is Trina's last week with Sydney and the two share warm moments,

This book is a fast read and a great one as well, What drew me to this book was the cover and it's my hope that others will find this gem and pass it on, Great stories need to be shared,

I received this book in return for a honest review,



Oh my god, being a dog lover, I so relate to the feelings of Trina and what she goes through.
Dogs are a blessing straight out of heaven and I am really, really glad the author wrote this book,
I would sincerely like to thank her for this,
However, that is not the only angle in this book 'Seven Days to Goodbye' because we also have the complicated situation between Trina and her best friend and this guy, Chase.
The strained relationship between the two best friends is quite interesting and complex, However, the narrative itself is quite uncomplicated and that's the beauty of it, truly,

It is a wonderful and intriguing read, which will make you keep on turning the pages,
Anyway, being a dog lover, as soon as I saw the book cover and read the synopsis, I had to get this book.


A wonderful read, undoubtedly, In fact, I would say, it's a must read! How would you feel if you had just seven days to say goodbye

Trina and Sydney have just seven days left together after Trina,, has successfully trained Sydney to be a service dog in this young adult novel.
This book shows the extensive training involved with service dogs, and the sacrifices made for the good of others,

What better way to spend the last week together than on holiday with best friend Sarah, her dog Darby and their parents.
That is. . Until boys are involved!

Sarah appears to be more interested in boys, make up and clothes where has Trina's best friend gone Can the friends get over the tension brought on by Chase and Peyton

This lovely, sweet, teen read is very light and entertaining, with the obvious underlying tension due to the fact you know that Trina and Sydney have a big challenge at the end of their week together.
Teenage angst the joys of hormonal mood swings!, friendship struggles, first love and above all, the love between human and dog proves this to be a very relatable and nice read.


I particularly loved the scenes between Sydney and Logan, I am a massive animal lover and it is so heart warming to read a book about what incredible animals dogs are, especially those trained to help people with difficulties.
Some of these moments caused me to tear up and I just thought this aspect of the book was lovely,

Thank you to Booktasters and Sheri S, Levy for the copy of this book in return for an honest review I really enjoyed this book so thank you! A super family friendly story to suit all ages from preteens to grandparents.
Plenty of humorous true to life incidents dogs, kids and beach whats not to love!, The characters as sketched out are just typical for the average Aussie family although this is set elsewhere it may as well be in Australia right down to the parents taste in music, their easygoing approach to life ups and downs that enables the teenage daughters to feel both autonomous and secure as in the wevegotyourback approach to parenting.
This is Trinas final week with Sydney, the dog she has raised and trained from a puppy to be a service dog, a week of conflicting emotions from pain of loss to that of pride in how well trained Sydney shows himself to be by developing a relationship with a special little boy.
But wait theres more. . best friends changing, growing apart, finding each other again, redefining relationships and more, . If you love animals, are a teen, a parent of a teen or can remember being a teen, then you will find this is a book that will have you smiling, laughing, a little teary eyed, and energised to race up to your best friend with a “You must read this!” Really enjoyed this book.
It made me really wish I was at the beach, read it cover to cover in one day, Great character development and lots of layering, Can't wait for the next one, I received this book from the author via Booktasters in exchange for an honest review,

Living in a semirural town of India, service dogs are a rarity in my part of the world and reading a book about a teen training service dogs gives the reader a refreshing new perspective on such topics.
And diversity in literature is the trend these days,

Although this debut novel has been marketed as a YA, it has a more Middle Grade feel to it, However, this was not a drawback, infact Trina the protagonist is quite mature for her age, She is a strong character whose friendship with her best friend has gone through a lot of changes but inspite of all the emotional turmoil she manages to come to terms with giving up her service dog she has been training.
Over the course of seven days she and her friend also befriend two other boys and their younger brother with autism and the story basically revolves around these characters and the dogs.


Apart from the storyline what struck to me the most was the author's love for animals that manifests itself when she writes about not just dogs but the turtles, pelicans, sea gulls and dolphins as well.


Overall, an enjoyable read, Recommending it to all animal lovers and looking forward to reading more of her works,
Heartbreaking, Heartwarming
Sheri S, Levys “Seven Days to Goodbye” is more than a teen read with the inevitable fashion, different maturity levels, and boygirl relationship uncertainties, It introduces readers to the wonderful world of service dogs and their abilities, to young service dog trainers, and to the marvel of coastal wildlife.

Trina and best friend Sarah embark on a weeklong beach vacation, But are they still best friends Sarah can think of nothing other than trendy new clothes and meeting boys, Trina wants to swim in the surf and enjoy her last week with Sydney, the service dog she has trained for the pastmonths.
At the end of the beach stay, Sydney will go back to the kennel and prepare for meeting his new family, Trina will go home with a shattered heart,
Knowing that she may never recover from telling Sydney goodbye and leaving him behind, Trina redoubles her efforts to enjoy everything the beach has to offer, including protecting the nest of a loggerhead turtle.
But when two teen brothers pop up over the beach horizon, along with their younger brother who is autistic, Trinas plans scatter like the sand at her feet.

Seven Days to Goodbye is Sheri Levys inaugural book in the Middle School/Young Adult arena, I believe this book would, also, be appreciated by dog lovers of all ages and service dog puppy raisers and/or service dog partners.
Although the title may lead one to expect a sad story, Ms, Levy delivers a poignant, enlightening discussion of the challenges and emotions associated with being a puppy raiser for a future service dog, I read this book through the eyes of an individual that has been partnered with a service dog and is acquainted with many puppy raisers.
Readers are introduced to the world of service dogs in training, the remarkable tasks and abilities these special dogs are capable of and the potential for teens and young adults to be successful trainers.


This story encompasses the last week of service dog puppy training/raising for Sydney, an Australian Shephard, Trina, a young teenager, is completing Sydneys final week of training before Sydney completes “finishing school” and is partnered with an individual in need of a service dog.
Trina, her family, her best friend Sarah and

Sarahs family, and her friend Hannah spend the week at a beach, This will be Trina's last trip with Sydney, and completion of all of his initial training before he goes back to the service program.
During the week, the girls meet new friends, Peyton and Chase who also are staying at the beach front, Throughout the week Trina and her friends confront challenges associated with friendship, clothing selections, jealously, first love and heartache, This summer will truly be memorable on many levels, Ultimately, Trina knows she will have to say goodbye to Sydney, the big question is will she say hello again, . . Emotionally, can she find room in her heart to welcome another puppy that needs a puppy raiser in preparation for a career as a service dog.
Trinas love for animals shines brightly,

True to the world of puppy raisers and service dog partners, both groups experience times of heartbreak and pure joy, A variety of topics often experienced by middle schoolers and teenagers were touched on within the context of this story, I would love to read a sequel with welldeveloped characters, a more indepth exploration of feelings and issues common to the target reader audience.
An enjoyable read which I would recommend to animal lovers and those considering becoming a puppy raiser, Im looking forward to reading more of Ms, Levys books.
