i enjoyed the characters and the whole concept was interesting to be a part of but i really hated how the topic of grief was handled. it was also difficult for me to relate to any of the characters.
i guess i expected to get more emotional. i shed a tear or two at the last few chapters but all in all i don’t really get the hype but it might just not be the book for me

I was originally intrigued by this book because of the aspect of reconnection to Sam through phone calls. But that actually turned out to be the least interesting part for most of the book. I really enjoyed when Julie was interacting with other people in sams life much more. I think that’s why I didn’t rate this higher. The phone calls with Sam didn’t get really interesting until about 80%.
The ending did make me cry, although not as much as I was expecting. I also teared up many other times throughout.
So, overall, it’s a pretty solid read and was an interesting book to begin reading to get me back into contemporary. I like the pain.
