review 1: I give this book a 3 because when I picked up the book I was expecting a quick and easy read but I found this book a little boring. I found myself having to force myself to sit down and read the book and it took me 4 days to finally have the patience to read it but overall I liked the story in general. spoiler alert!!!personally I hated the love triangle with Sam, Alison, and Izzy because I honestly didn't like Izzy at all. I feel as though she was a home wrecker because she knew the whole time that Sam and Alison were in love and she was still "sharing him" when she knew what was going on. My favorite character though was Morgan because he was such a cute little old man and he was so nice and innocent. I didn't really like Alison because she didnt speak her mind when i... moret came to Sam and her love and it bothered me a lot that after Izzy died that her and Sam just picked up where they left off as if Sam never had feelings for Izzy. Sam, I did love though because he had that bad boy exterior but was a big fluffy teddy bear on the inside. But despite the characters that I didn't like, the book was pretty good and almost got a 3.5 from me.
review 2: Sharing Sam is definitely different from the books that I usually read. When I first read the synopsis I thought 'what the heck? she shares the guy she likes with her best friend?' and almost put it back on the shelf. But something made me want to give this book a chance, that little nudging feeling that tells you 'don't be so hasty with this book'. Sharing Sam is a book about the sacrifices you make for friendship and the lengths you'll go to for the people you love. This was a really cute book, not only was it pretty short (as opposed to the 400+ page books I normally read) at 155 pages but it was a light read to. Light in the writing sense, not the subject. Some parts of the book felt really rushed, like the author really didn't want to go into detail about everything that happened so she summed it up in a few sentences and moved on to another scene. I wish that this book could have been more detailed and lengthened, but Sharing Sam seems like it was intended to be simple and straight to the point. It may have been written for a younger audience but I think it's a book that anyone could enjoy. Sharing Sam makes you want to be the best friend you could possibly be. less
