As always take this with a grain of salt because of dissertation regency *

An extremely sentimental books where everything happens and also nothing happens at the same time— like grief in some ways. I think I personally hate Dustin Thai for doing this to Sam and for unlocking this deep fear that MY musician boyfriend who is also named Sam, will tragically die. So thanks.

3 stars because of some annoying plot holes and overall the story felt very repetitive and dragging on at certain points but also 3 stars because the ending was one of the most emotional and special moments I’ve experienced. A very surreal and yet realistic view of grief and letting go.

I didn’t cry because my Sam is currently sleeping next to me. I’ll give him a kiss when I press submit— for Julie.
