Publisher's Summary

How do you move forward when everything you love is on the line?

A heartfelt novel about love and loss and what it means to say goodbye

Seventeen-year-old Julie Clarke has her future all planned out - move out of her small town with her boyfriend, Sam; attend college in the city; spend a summer in Japan.

But then Sam dies. And everything changes.

Heartbroken, Julie skips his funeral, throws out his belongings, and tries everything to forget him. But a message Sam left behind in her yearbook forces memories to return. Desperate to hear him one more time, Julie calls Sam's cell phone just to listen to his voice mail recording.

And Sam picks up the phone.

The connection is temporary. But hearing Sam's voice makes Julie fall for him all over again, and, with each call, it becomes harder to let him go.

What would you do if you have a second chance at goodbye?

A great tragedy and watery eyed story

The story has a strong beginning and ending and explores the theme of grief and how everyone goes through it differently.
the narration was great. I felt.the middle of the story could have been stronger.
