I just finished this book exactly today.
And I ugly cried my way through the last pages, it is so well written-- direct and heartbreaking. Sam loved julie more than anything, his love for her is unconditional. I loved the book, it's more about healing from the grief of losing someone you wanted to spend your life forever with. First loves, indeed are very intense. People should give it a read, give it a chance and learn to navigate that grieving is a long process and comes in different ways.
" I miss you infinity."
