Seventeen-year-old Julie has her future all planned out—move out of her small town with her boyfriend Sam, attend college in the city, spend a summer in Japan. But then Sam dies. And everything changes. Heartbroken, Julie skips his funeral, throws out his things, and tries everything to forget him and the tragic way he died. But a message Sam left behind in her yearbook forces back memories. Desperate to hear his voice one more time, Julie calls Sam’s cellphone just to listen to his voicemail. And Sam picks up the phone. In a miraculous turn of events, Julie’s been given a second chance at goodbye. The connection is temporary. But hearing Sam’s voice makes her fall for him all over again, and with each call it becomes harder to let him go. However, keeping her otherworldly calls with Sam a secret isn’t easy, especially when Julie witnesses the suffering Sam’s family is going through. Unable to stand by the sidelines and watch their shared loved ones in pain, Julie is torn between spilling the truth about her calls with Sam and risking their connection and losing him forever.
I decided to continue reading this book again, not because I didn’t like it, but because it’s just too sad. It’s funny, though, because I almost cried so many times while reading, yet I never actually did since I didn’t want to ruin the book. Now that I’m almost done with it, I don’t want it to end yet. Also, if you don’t want to feel even sadder, I wouldn’t recommend reading while listening to the audiobook. 😭 I guess the bright side of almost finishing this book is that I get to start the second one.
reading this for challenge reasons but I am sooo not in the mood for this type of book at the moment, which feels unfair to the book itself. So, we'll see how far I get :/ very it's not you it's me right now.
