Cover Wars: Goodnight, Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson
October 11th, 2010 by Leah
Goodnight, Beautiful by Dorothy Koomson was released in the USA last week and has had a slight cover change from the UK one. The US cover is on the left and the UK cover is on the right. I think the US cover looks far more grown up and serious. I’m not a huge fan of Dorothy’s UK covers. They’re OK, but they could be better and I think the US cover proves that. So which one do you prefer?
Nova Kumalisi would do anything for her closest friend, Mal Wacken. She owes him her life. So, when he asked her to be the surrogate mother for him and his wife, in spite of her fears about how it would alter their friendship, Nova agreed. Eight years later, Nova is bringing up their son alone, and she and Mal don’t speak. Months into the pregnancy, Mal’s wife changed her mind about the surrogacy agreement. Already suspicious of how close Nova and Mal were, Stephanie realised her strained marriage was in serious trouble when she found a text from her husband to Nova, saying, ‘Goodnight, Beautiful’. She asked Mal to cut all ties with his closest friend and unborn child. Now, seven-year-old Leo is critically ill and Nova, despite her anger and hurt, wants Mal to have the chance to know his son before it’s too late. Will it take a tragedy to remind them how much they mean to each other?




















I prefer the UK version. I only ever really loved her cover of my best friends girl and cupid effect, wasn’t too keen on the rest.
I like the US version.
