Letting go is never easy.

When awkward musical theater nerd, Sam, meets Rose at a party, he’s convinced they belong together. She’s perfect in every way, but he’s constantly worried he’ll lose her. He tries to be a good boyfriend, but he’s always getting things wrong. He could blame his abusive dad or even his best friend for sabotaging his relationship, but deep down he knows the truth: he’s not worthy. After all, he drove his mom away when he was ten.

Alcohol helps Sam cope. It also helps him push everyone away, making him more like his dad than he wants to admit. As Sam navigates his way through damaged friendships and a possible breakup, his past haunts him, forcing him to come to terms with truths he’s not ready to face.

Trigger Warning: alcoholism, physical and emotional abuse, parental abandonment, suicide

This is a heartfelt story told with the kind of voice that makes you think you are sitting in the room with the MC. As the story unfolds your are pulled into Sam's world. A world where it is just him and his dad. There are hints of a deep struggle but because Sam, naturally, keeps a whole lot hidden you get to know the funny kid just being himself, hanging out with his friends. Soon you see that there is far more to his story as you watch him sinking further and further in a direction he doesn't want to go. You will find yourself laughing, crying and sometimes saying, "Sam! What are you thinking!" Believable and powerful right to the last page.

Good Points

Sam will step off the page and into your heart even when he is making poor choices. You want him to do better and be better because you care about him.
