My Thoughts:

I have been in a reading slump for a couple of weeks now, stuck in a loop of bad book after bad book after bad book with seemingly no escape. In Search of Sam was exactly the type of book I needed to read to get out that vicious cycle. It was light. It was fun. It was a bit of a "nothing" read but it had great bunch of characters and a great storyline. What I loved most about it was that it didn't really have a plot. That does sound a bit ludcrious but it meant that the story was more focus   I have been in a reading slump for a couple of weeks now, stuck in a loop of bad book after bad book after bad book with seemingly no escape. In Search of Sam was exactly the type of book I needed to read to get out that vicious cycle. It was light. It was fun. It was a bit of a "nothing" read but it had great bunch of characters and a great storyline. What I loved most about it was that it didn't really have a plot. That does sound a bit ludicrous but it meant that the story was more focused on the personal journey and growth of our protagonist, Dani and her struggle with the death of her father. I will admit that there was far too much dialogue and somewhat little action, but somehow it all worked and the outcome was well worth it. I loved the atmosphere and the "fuzzy feelings" it gave me. It was such a good, heart-warming book that I honestly just wasn't expecting. There isn't really much more I can say about this. I know this was a rather waffly review but there really isn't any more words to describe this. It was a light-hearted book that was easy to breeze through. The characters were perfect. The story was engaging and beautiful. I would quickly recommend this to all contemporary fans and I will, most certainly, be picking up more of the author's future works.
