You Called Sam

THE BEST YOUNG ADULT BOOK OF 2021, ACCORDING TO COSMO.COM.

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT IF THE ONE YOU LOVE IS ONLY A VOICE ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE?

Seventeen-year-old Julie Clark has long planned her future: she wants to get out of her small town and move to a metropolis, go to university, spend the summer in Japan—and all of it together with her boyfriend, Sam. But everything changes when he suddenly dies.

Julie can’t bring herself to go to the funeral, throws away Sam’s things, and tries to forget him. But one day she finds his wish in her school yearbook, and memories flood her completely.

Dialing his number, she expects an automated voicemail. Instead, Sam’s own voice answers.

With every call, Julie falls in love with Sam again—and with every call it gets harder for her to let him go…

“You’ve reached Sam” is a bittersweet story about love, loss, and sadness that will make you cry.
