Review of You've Reached Sam by Dustin Thao
"You've Reached Sam" by Dustin Thao is an excellent young adult novel about friendship, love, and loss as well as longing to stay connected, even if only through technology. The novel is written using simple words so it is easy for the reader to understand. The book moves at a rapid pace, so it is easy for the reader to see how important it is to take special memories of someone who has died with you so that person can remain in your heart forever. I highly recommend this book to other readers, young adult or older. In fact, I enjoyed this novel so much that I plan on reading it again myself.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
