4 of 5 stars


Sharing Sam was one of those stories of truly loving your bestfriend, and will possibly give up anything just to see her smile, even if that means giving up the love of your life, your boyfriend, Sam.

See, this story is not normal. What girl do you know, will willingly give up her boyfriend and give him to her bestfriend who is just as in love with him as you are. But, it's kind of got a twist. Alison's bestfriend, Izzy has been diagnosed with brain cancer, and after her brain surgery the doctors tell Izzy's family that she will have about two months to live, and the news gets back to Alison. But Izzy, the girl suffering from the cancer, does not even get told that she will die.
So Alison does something drastic.
She gives up her boyfriend, Sam for Izzy just to make her happy for the two months she will be able to live. Hiding the pain she feels from Izzy is hard, watching her best friend unintentionally kiss Sam, makes her so afraid, but when Sam comes to Alison and says he might be falling for Izzy, makes Alison the most upset, but she pushes it to the side, she doesn't care. This her bestfriend, they're talking about. This is the bestfriend who's going to die in less than two months. That is the true meaning of bestfriends, sacrificing what you can't afford to lose .
And along the way of reading this story, you will meet an old man named Morgan, and his parakeet, Cha-Cha.

I would recommend this book to girls of all ages. If your one of those girls who love to read those sappy love stories, one that likes to read about a strong friendship, or one who loves to read about tradgedy and heartbreak, this book is for you. Out of five stars, I would give it a four. Though it held my interest for the most part, there were some parts that just did not make sense . But this book is something you would love to just sit down and enjoy.
