This book is one of the most heartbreaking books out there. Barely halfway through the first chapter, the readers are in tears. It’s heartfelt and beautifully written. “You’ve Reached Sam” by Dustin Thao is a must-read for adolescents and young adults. This tale is about love, loss, regret, heartbreak, and so many feelings. It’s not only relatable, but it puts you in the minds of the characters. A quick summary, our protagonist Julie Clarke is a seventeen-year-old girl in high school.
