A review by lennofspades
I'm Not Sam by Jack Ketchum, Lucky McKee
4.0
This was supposed to be just a 3-star read up until I reached the ending.
UPDATE:
I'm very grateful for chill weekends because that means I get to spend most of the free time reading. The past couple of weeks have been busy for me and the next couple of weeks will be as well! This is the only weekend that I get to spend at home, reading and just enjoying the peace and quiet. So! I made the most of it by juggling three books and I finished this one today.
In this novella, we follow the POV of Patrick, a graphic designer who is very much contented with the life he has. With a stable job that he actually loves, a beautiful wife, Sam, and a house by the river. He could never ask for me. But one night, things started to change and he doesn't even know why or how it happened, but she's not Sam.
This book was pretty enjoyable, and really got me thinking what's really happening in this household and why. While reading this, I am just as confused as Patrick. At some point, I feel like I hurt for Patrick and his longingness for his wife. This was more of a love story than horror for me, to be honest. And I say that in a good way.
This was a good book to read if you're looking for some quick reads to get you by! This was honestly supposed to be a 3 or 3.5-read for me, but turned out to be a 4 because of the ending. ♡
