You've Reached Sam
I stumbled upon this book while I was confused which book to read, I couldn't complete Normal People and Eleonar Oliphant is Completely Fine (I intend to later tho), this book broke my hiatus tho, I didn't give up this time.
The premise is beautiful (maybe even predictable), it revolves around the grief Julie faces after she loses her boyfriend Sam in an accident. This grief eventually culminates in her calling Sam's number to just hear his last voice mail/voice, but instead Sam answers it, as if he still exists. The story then unfolds further into the regrets she had, her past memories with Sam, the mutual friends they shared, the plot connects everything just to teach us one thing, the art of saying goodbye instead of clinging onto something or someone, you have to let it go sometimes, even and especially for your loved ones.
Having personally gone something similar, I could indeed resonate with the pages more, maybe that was the reason I gave up reading those other 2 books, who knows. But the point is, I don't regret is, and I'm glad I stumbled upon this, the style was new and I adored the plot, it makes you cry but leaves you smiling by the time you turn the last page.
