Description
You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao is a poignant novel about love and loss. Seventeen-year-old Julie Clarke's life is turned upside down when her boyfriend, Sam, dies, forcing her to confront the future she had planned with him. A message from Sam in her yearbook sparks memories of their time together, leading Julie to make a desperate attempt to hold on to him. As Julie calls Sam's cell phone, hoping to hear his voice one last time, she begins to experience a bittersweet reunion. With each call, the connection is temporary, but the emotions that follow are all too real. This heart-wrenching story explores what it means to say goodbye and whether it's possible to find closure when the past refuses to let go. A 2021 Kids' Indie Next List Selection, You've Reached Sam is a powerful exploration of love, loss, and the human experience.
