Summary from my perspective:
One second Sam is there, other he isn’t. Where you went Sam? This wasn’t the plan!
Sam and Julie are meant for each other, destined to meet, destined to be together until the same destiny pulls the tragedy card. Cruel.
Sam is gone, no more to reach out hold hands, to to fight and laugh and go dates with. It’s hollow and dark for Julie. She’s lost, dreams don’t spare her, she blames herself for his death, blames him, she’s angry, frustrated & hidden. She’s losing herself, bit by bit. Feeling hurt and doing the irrational she falls down and then, in hope of getting to talk, she calls.
And Sam picks up, he’s picks up and Calls it their last chance at good bye? A compensation to the unfair? What is this connection and how long will it last? Is it even real?
What to expect:
A dark book, a beautiful book, Young Death, Grief, Car Accident, Racism, Violence, Sexual Harassment, Music ( The lyrics Julie wrote were so beautiful), strong character development, Toxic Friendship, Queer Representation, Bad mental health, Beautiful connections, trauma, books and film talks, Accepting and growing, Keep you tissues because lots of tears.
My point of view:
This book make your heart sting and hurt and will give you scars. It’s beautiful, I kept it together until the end, until epilogue and then I was a real mess.
I loved how diverse this book was, how it dealt with emotions, not only read, I felt them. Every word was piercing my heart. The characters, the diversity, the wide range of topics it covered while dealing with the main focus of handling loss and grief. It’s outstanding. It’ll teach you multiple lessons, loads and loads! Never forgetting, Julie and Sam were gold!
I usually don’t read dark books, I tend to avoid these sides, but the depth such books have can never be ignored! They make you feel something, make you part of them and this book did exactly that.
Within 290 pages, @thedustinthao moved my world. Even if not my preferred genre, this book is going to be close to my heart!
