REVIEWS
“Humor and poignancy go hand in hand in Sharon Potts's latest, GOODBYE NEVERLAND. You can't help but laugh out loud on page one when Potts's forty-something protagonist, Wendy Wright, shares wry observations while lying spread eagle on the examining table in the gynecologist's office. Yet that doctor's visit is a watershed moment for Wendy, who begins to question the choices she made years before to forego a promising career and devote her energies instead to raising her family. No longer sure of her purpose in life or her value to family and society, Wendy decides to reenter the workforce, only to set off a chain of events – some humorous, some heartbreaking – that will leave the reader rooting for her all the way to the very end.”
Julie Compton, author of TELL NO LIES and RESCUING OLIVIA
DESCRIPTION
If you’ve ever been a mom, or a daughter, or a wife…sometimes you just feel like flapping your wings and saying goodbye to Neverland. (Don’t ya?)
Wendy Wright, a stay-at-home mom, has a fairy-tale existence with three terrific teenage kids, a handsome husband, and a comfortable upscale lifestyle. She’s even won second place in the ‘Warmest Hearth in Our Hometown’ competition and makes a killer chili. But Wendy worries about finding fulfillment “after the kids have gone off to college” and decides it’s time to step off the ‘Mommy Track’ and venture out of Neverland. Despite her family’s misgivings, she takes a temp job that’s well beneath her abilities as a one-time successful MBA. But before long, hyper-competent Wendy is practically running things at the poorly managed company. Unfortunately, things aren’t so great at home. The kids are getting into trouble, Wendy’s widowed father has come to live with them, and her husband has lost his job and dignity in his own mid-life crisis.
Wendy feels the crush of the sandwich generation as she tries to juggle work, family and a marriage that’s fast unraveling. But Wendy’s not about to give up on her family, the company…or herself.
Goodbye Neverland will make you laugh and cry. But mostly you’ll be standing up and cheering for the moms of the world.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Sharon Potts is the award-winning author of IN THEIR BLOOD and SOMEONE’S WATCHING, suspense novels about ordinary people in extraordinary situations set in South Florida, and SOUTH BEACH CINDERELLA, a romantic comedy. Her work has received numerous awards including the 2010 Benjamin Franklin Award for best mystery/suspense novel, as well as a starred review in Publishers Weekly. A former teacher-turned-CPA-turned-business-exec-turned-writer, Potts isn’t good with boundaries. She loves writing about people, relationships, and families, and is as comfortable putting her characters in tense, suspenseful situations as in unpredictable humorous ones. Because after all—isn’t that what life’s all about?
Entertainment Weekly called Sharon Potts an author who looks like she plans “to stick around for a while.”

I enjoyed the beginning of this book very much. As a mother of four I definitely could relate to the main character's situation and her feelings. I could see myself doing the things she did under the same circumstances. However, I did not like the ending. Once again, she seemed to give up everything she had just declared her independence from to go back to the same kind of life she had before. I got the feeling she was giving up everything for some perceived life of 'domestic bliss'. In my mind, the ending was a cop-out.Product details

Goodbye Neverland edition by Sharon Potts Humor Entertainment eBooks Reviews
When courage, competence, and self-sacrifice just aren't enough - what else is there to give?
After raising her children and being the perfect wife, how could Wendy Wright's innocent quest to get back into the working world have resulted in so much catastrophe? She might as well have set off an atom bomb in the living room.
Not that she didn't do well in her new role as businesswoman. She was fantastic, as she had been before she dedicated herself to her family. But was this just not supposed to be, was she evil to think of doing something with and for herself? Sharon Potts spins this very funny, satirically serious tale that gives great insight into what we think is important, what we think is perfect and what is simply delusional.

While this book does not fall into the best book I've ever read category, it was an easy, enjoyable read.
I had a hard time getting into the book, but as the plot developed it became more interesting. Nothing memorable, but well written.
From the opening moment in the gyne's office, this book hooks you and won't let go. The laughable moments are genuine instead of comic because they hold up a mirror to ourselves, and the same it true for the many pithy lows. If you can't love every character in the book, you can at least recognize them as real people. Looking forward to reading more of her work!
I have enjoyed Sharon Potts previous books. This one is similar. I like women's mystery books. I would recommend it to others.
This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I think it is about a woman who rises to the occasion of family need and in the process learns things she never wanted to know about her husband and learns again things she always knew about herself. Potts' mainstream books pull the reader in with genuine emotion, self-discovery, and a good solid plot. I wouldn't miss it.
I really liked the story. What I didn't like are the loose ends--no closure with the Stockton storyline, no closure with the OBGYN visits, no real closure on who she winds up with (she didn't seem satisfied with her own ending). I loved loved the story but felt that the skipping of a month at a time and the lack of closure made it a solid 3.5 stars.
