As she navigates the depths of her grief, she stumbles upon a mysterious connection that allows her to reach out to him one last time.

It resonates with anyone who has loved deeply and lost, inviting readers to reflect on their own experiences of love, loss, and the magic that can linger long after someone is gone.

Reviews

1.5⭐️Me siento estafada, tenía muchas expectativas con este libro. Me había hecho a la idea de que iba a ser un libro triste, lleno de sentimientos pero no me hizo sentir nada en absoluto (frustración tal vez).El personaje de Julie me pareció demasiado egoísta, nunca me logró agradar y para ser honesta no logré conectar ni un poquito con ninguno de los personajes. Es un libro para pasar el rato pero hasta ahí.

4.0

Alot of ppl cried over this book, and after i read the ending of it, i totally understood why. The thing that Sam said in the voicemail really got me sobbing.

5.0

This was absolutely heartbreaking. But I loved it. Was sobbing almost every page.

I enjoyed this book. It wasn't as emotional as I was expecting, but the ending was beautiful.It didn't leave me in tears like people said it would. Sure, it was sad. And it made me feel emotions but they weren't very strong emotions. People hyped it up a lot. So I was expecting a i-can't-breathe-with-how-much-i'm-crying type of thing but all I got was me staring at my phone thinking "that was sad", stare off into the abyss for a minute or two and then continue like absolutely nothing happened. I wanted to cut Julie some slack in the beginning. I mean, she is grieving and everyone grieves differently. Its a very personal process. But then when it came to the flashbacks, her attitude and behaviour was very similar. It made it a bit frustrating at times to read which is a shame because the story has a lot of potential to resonate with anybody that has had to grieve for somebody that they've lost.Overall this book was good. The representation of grief was well executed but I feel as if the characters needed fleshing out some more. For his debut novel, Dustin did an incredible job and I can't wait to see the things he publishes in the future.
