    yes, you've reached sam is such beautiful writing and the way you really see the journey of dealing with grief is so good.

    I just finished reading You’ve reached Sam and the ending was rlly heartbreaking. I wouldn’t read books on my own record and this took me truthfully more than a month to finish. Either I didn’t have time or I was afraid that it will come to an end. The ending was so well written therefore my eyes got watery :‘) I don’t know but somehow I just really enjoy reading sad novels. I am sure that tonight I won’t be able to sleep properly since I’ll think about the book over and over again. The whole journey was touching and to feel the moment better I would turn on the music playlist I created. I would definitely recommend this book

      I think as long as the writing is good and entertaining, who cares? Now I don't know if this book is good but I’m just saying. Cause why would you not give a good writer a chance just because they got their start from a fanfiction?

    • @rach_elreads5508
      @rach_elreads5508 2 роки тому +4

      @@jagerbaby8628 I think I'm weary of it because I can't imagine the characters as they already have people they're based on so to me it may not be authentic. And there's nothing wrong with a writer doing a good novel through fanfiction, I just mean I haven't had a good experience with those in the past

    • @kevinkelly_
      @kevinkelly_  2 роки тому +1

      Haha I think the characters are just meant to be similar to Reylo… I think? 😂 I’ve no idea since I’ve never seen the new Star Wars, but from what I’ve seen online it’s apparently fanfic of Reylo 🙊

  • @lydiawalker0714
    @lydiawalker0714 2 роки тому +5

    I read You've Reached Sam in November and it's a good sad book. I just wish the flashbacks were more concrete. The fluid formatting is disorienting to read when you're trying to understand character relationships. If you want a good sad book about grief, read Summer Bird Blue by Akemi Dawn Bowman.

    • @kevinkelly_
      @kevinkelly_  2 роки тому +1

      Personally I actually loved the flashback moments and it really worked for me, but I can see why it wouldn’t work for everyone and could be disorienting. I’ve been wanting to read more by Akemi Dawn Bowman as it is, but now that you’ve recommended that, it’s very high on my tbr. Thank you 💛

    Since I've seen the cover of Love Hypothesis I've been meaning to read it. When it came out I've heard amazing opinions about it, but then I've heard it's a Reylo fanfic annnnnd... my expectations went back to a normal level 😁 still want to read it because it sounds cool, I'll just have to erase the Reylo thing from my mind (The Spanish Love Deception is the first on my romance tbr though, especially after your vlog 💗)

    • @kevinkelly_
      @kevinkelly_  2 роки тому +1
