The You’ve Reached Sam series began with the bestselling debut that captured YA readers with its story of a girl who can still call her dead boyfriend. The original novel struck a chord with its honest treatment of grief and the bargains people make to hold on to the people they love. The magical phone calls provide a framework for processing loss rather than avoiding it.
You’ve Found Oliver (2025) extends the concept with new characters, offering another story about how people cope when someone they love is gone. The series is best read starting with the original book, which established the emotional rules of this world. Readers who connected with the first book’s blend of heartbreak and hope will find the companion novel in the same register.
