You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
4.5
You've Reached Sam, by Dustin Thao, is a beautiful, medium-paced, with medium-sized chapters, romance novel.
I'm not used to romance novels so it's always an experiment for me. In You've Reached Sam, you get to read about love, loss, grief, and second chances, with a touch of magic. Julie can talk on the phone to his recently passed away boyfriend. It's beautifully written and will definitely bring tears to your eyes (it did to me )
The only reason why I took 0.5 stars off is because wish the magical aspect was more developed. I feel like we could have had a little have been nice having.
I wasn't a big fan of Julie. I wish the book went more in depth regarding her character. Generally speaking, the book could be longer so we could have more of everything. A dual POV or a second book with Sam's perspective could be really nice!
Other than that, it talks beautifully about how everyone grieves differently and makes you think. It makes you wonder what you would do if you were offered a second chance at goodbye. What would you do if a passed loved one came back for one last discussion with you?
I really liked this book! It succeeded in making me emotional while reading, which hadn't happened before! always feel for people who lose loved ones - in real life, movies, and apparently in books too! - so it got to me.
I definitely recommend this book! ❤️
