She's a hard worker, rarely gets into trouble, is protective of her much wilder and social best friend, Shelby, and is generally shy and awkward in the situations Shelby thrives in. I easily identified with the main character of Famous Last Words, Sam. This summer, she's breaking rules, keeping secrets, and learning, little by little, that a summer of writing obituaries might just teach her how to live. And Sam, usually reserved and shy, is finding her niche and her previously small social circle is expanding. There's no lazing around the pool with her best friend Shelby, who just doesn't seem to understand why Sam works so much and has no interest in their usual summer activities.
This summer is the beginning of something different for Sam. The newspaper office is filled with quirky characters, from Harry, her armadillo-loving boss, to Tony, known as Coma Boy to the rest of the newspaper staff and summer crush to Sam. Among her other "intern scum" duties, Sam shares obituary duty with fellow intern AJ, a sarcastic college intern.
The novel follows 16-year old Sam, a summer intern at a local newspaper, the Herald Tribune. The story per se is amazing but I guess I just found the writing a little bit lacking and I honestly find the meaning of Heart Bones in the story overly corny, argh! But still, it’s definitely worth the read and I would forever be loyal to the author’s work.Jennifer Salvato Doktorski's young adult novel Famous Last Words is one of those novels that makes you suddenly laugh aloud in a quiet room and leaves you with a warm, satisfied feeling upon finishing. It was only till chapter 23 when things start looking up and the first half of the book just felt like a really long prologue.īut my feelings, when all Beyah‘s questions about Samson were all finally answered. But I don’t know, this one, it’s the first time that it took me a long while to finish her book. The latter for me was honestly breathtaking. It doesn’t seem to have that “kapow” factor like her last book before this one, Regretting You. Colleen Hoover will be that one author for me I could reliably go to when I want to read a romance that would not disappoint and Heart Bones, just like the rest of her new adult novels, is something you wouldn’t expect, more meaningful than you thought it would be and has enough substance you otherwise wouldn’t find in other romance novels.īut I hate to admit that this one seems to lack what I think of as the “Hoover Effect”.
