You've Found Oliver

I've read it within 24 hours and I am completly in love with Oliver and Ben's Story. It's very typical written- in Dustin Thaos way. He is the only author that writes so outstanding stories in a way, that you are completly drowning in the feelings. The possibilities and theories are magical!

The story picks up a year after the heartbreaking loss of Sam, his best friend and secret crush. Oliver still texts Sam’s old number—an outlet for his grief, his hopes, and the things left unsaid. Then one day, instead of silence, someone replies. The number has been reassigned to Ben, a college student who has been receiving every vulnerable message Oliver ever sent. Ben and Oliver form a connection through those messages—private, honest, unfinished. Their conversations carry Oliver through moments both heavy and hopeful: flashbacks of prom and bonfires, quiet walks through campus, memories he can’t let go of. As grief and love collide, Oliver has to decide whether to stay anchored in the past—or risk opening his heart to something new. It’s a story about pain and possibility, about how you carry someone forward in your heart, and how unexpected connection can breathe life back into a broken world. I devoured it

How do I describe this book, this experience and reading about dear Oliver and how much meaning it could bring to somehow cross paths with Ben? I don’t think I can. Not this time around. This book made me think. This book made me feeeeeel. And it made me wonder about all the possibilities of how our time lines could cross with another and how maybe sometimes stumbling over someone and getting to know them could actually influence other time lines. And before I get even more philosophical on this end, let’s make this quick: I loved this book. A lot. A big lot. It punched the right emotion buttons for me. In all the correct ways. An absolute delight.
