You’ve reached Sam is about Julie who lost her boyfriend due to a car crash. She has a hard time moving on and ignores everyone in her life, including her boyfriends funeral. one day she decides to call her boyfriends phone and he picks up and tells her that these calls are so that they could have the goodbye that they never got. 

This book was a true tearjerker. The beginning was sad, sure a few tears here and there. The end was what really got to me, it had me sobbing until a bit after I closed the book. 
the story it self was meaningful and talked about grief in a way I don’t read about often. I really enjoyed this book but, I don’t see myself reading this again soon. I’m giving this book 4/5 stars.
