You've Reached Sam follows Julie who loses her boyfriend suddenly. She somehow manages to reach Sam through the phone, but with this second chance to talk to Sam again, will she be able to say goodbye?

You've Reached Sam is a very sad book about death and loss, but considering it carries these heavy and sad topics it manages to be about life as well. And it is really beautiful! It explores how people react differently when they lose someone, as well as the guilt of being alive while someone else is dead. Overall, I think the book managed to do exactly what it wanted. 4/5 stars.
