Arika Maxwell

Arika Maxwell creates contemporary romance, and her debut, Why Not GoodBye, begins the Why Not series. The documented edition uses the title WHY NOT GOODBYE? and appeared as a 362-page paperback with ISBN 9781790750016. Its central relationship is framed by unfinished history, marriage, family responsibility, and choices made before the characters meet again. Maxwell develops the book at novel length instead of compressing its conflict into a brief romantic episode, allowing old loyalties and present obligations to remain in tension across the story. As the first series volume, it establishes people and decisions that can carry into later installments while remaining a complete opening narrative. The published edition styles Goodbye as one conventionally capitalized word. For readers, the book marks the opening of Maxwell's sequence and introduces her interest in second chances complicated by time, secrecy, and established family lives rather than a relationship beginning without prior history.
