This book broke my heart in the best possible way. Every person experiences heartbreak in some form of another growing up, but Julie experiences one of the worst kinds when her beloved boyfriend dies unexpectedly in a car crash on his way to pick her up.
She blames herself. She misses him. Other people blame her. She misses all memorial events because she’s heartbroken, but people interpret it as her not caring. And all she wants is another chance to talk to Sam.
What she doesn’t expect is to be given that very chance. But what will she do when it can’t last forever? When she can’t hold onto what she’s already lost, because it’s already gone?
A story about actually getting that second chance to say goodbye – about weighing what’s important for you versus what’s needed for others, and about coming to terms with loss, growth, and moving forward. This book has a bit of everything and if I wasn’t afraid to break my heart repeatedly, I’d reread this book regularly. I highly recommend it.
