I was so hyped for this book! The concept was so cool, her boyfriend had died, but she could still reach him by calling his phone! I also hade hopes because I had heard so much good about this book, but sadly I can't say the same :(

The main character Julie were the main problem with why I didn't like this book. I did understand her in the beginning, how she is all shut down and couldn't do anything because of what had happened to her boyfriend Sam. The problems started when she called him for the first time. When Julie realize that she can talk to Sam over the phone her emotions just flips. From one second to another she is all fine and can't comprehend that the people around her is mourning Sam. All she can think about is to talking to Sam which leads to her hurting everyone around her over and over. I just got mad at Julie about how she didn't listen to her friends and just kept thinking about herself or even not that. She just did nothing :( She was not understanding of the others in her surrounding and about them felling sad. Thats the main part of the book that I couldn't see past which gave it the low points. 

This book took me 7 hours and 10 minuts to read.
