Publisher's Summary

David and Vanesa are ready to call it quits. After five years of marriage, neither one of them can even stand to look at the other. But when a final, desperate attempt to save their marriage lands them in couples therapy, David and Vanesa are forced to look back on their roller coaster of a relationship and uncover where exactly they went wrong.

Filled with humor and emotion and told through a set of flashbacks spanning their decade-long relationship, Saying Goodbye is a story about meeting the right person at the wrong time and fighting to make it work.

Episode 1: "Before the End of the World"

While attending their first session of couples therapy, David and Vanesa reminisce about the first time they met—at an "End of the World Party" more than a decade prior.

Episode 2: "Dating-ish"

As the session continues, David and Vanesa recount the moment they became more than just friends … and how Vanesa struggled with putting a label on their relationship.

Episode 3: "Like Romeo & Juliet"

It's 2015, and Vanesa and David are together … but still not putting a label on things. After a night of drinking with friends, David decides to take a big swing in his relationship with Vanesa.

Episode 4: "Let's Get Hitched"

A year later, Vanesa is engaged to David and celebrating her 25th birthday. But when a surprise guest shows up to her party, Vanesa makes an (another) impulsive decision.

Episode 5: "The Big Mistake"

David and Vanesa describe the moment their relationship hit a rough patch. After two years of marriage and one major argument, David makes a choice he can never take back.

Episode 6: "Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner"

A year after his mistake, David is still legally married to Vanesa, but they're living separate lives. But a new opportunity presented to Vanesa might just make that separation official.

Episode 7: "Llévame contigo"

As Vanesa flourishes in LA, a potential new suitor enters the picture. Meanwhile, back in New York, David struggles to move on.

Episode 8: "Amor eterno"

David travels to LA to sign the divorce papers, but an undeniable spark between the couple forces them to reconsider their decision. In the present, a sudden bombshell rocks Vanesa and David's world.

Editorial Review

Saying goodbye or starting over?
Saying Goodbye follows David and Vanesa, who are on the brink of separation. After five tumultuous years of marriage, they can barely stand to look at each other. But in a last-ditch effort to salvage their relationship, they find themselves in couples therapy, where they must confront their shared past. The story unfolds through a series of flashbacks that trace their journey, starting with their fateful meeting at an “End of the World” party. Filled with betrayal, humour and emotion, this multicast Original – which features music by bachata artist Romeo Santos – kept me hooked while I rooted for David and Vanesa to discover that the spark they once shared may not be extinguished after all. —Patty R., Audible Editor

Terrible ending!!

This was a bit clunky to listen to, its a very short story, so i guess its hard to establish too much connection with the characters while still telling a story and making a point. But the biggest thing I hated was how much the ending completely undid all of the story. It felt as though this was a story to shed light on how if both people want to work on a relationship they can still have a solid chance. If there is a sequel that would quell some of my venom, as its a great cliff hanger. But it still felt unnecessary 😪

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
