Sam knows she’s quiet (her best friend Shelby reminds her often), but the obit desk at the New Jersey paper is mighty dull. And then there are some cute guy interns, too… My book talk: Writing obituaries wasn’t what Samantha expected during her summer internship, but helping an ace reporter’s investigation should be more interesting. Review copy and cover image courtesy of the publisher. Christy Ottaviano Books (Henry Holt), 2013. Snag a copy of Famous Last Words at your favorite local library or independent bookstore, cue up the playlist that Doktorski kept on repeat as she wrote it, and enjoy Sam’s most interesting summer yet.Īnd ponder Sam’s favorite question – if you were writing your obituary now, what would it say?īook info: Famous Last Words / Jennifer Salvato Doktorski. She wanted a job to improve her writing – why not wish for a little summer romance, too? The other interns include a well-connected dreamboat who’s no great writer and a drummer guy with a flair for words who shares obit duties and coffee runs with Sam. Her party-hearty best friend thinks that’s what their yearbook will say about Samantha, who has indeed been pretty cautious in life – until she gets used to calling families of the dearly departed many times daily to verify obituary facts, then helps an investigative reporter on a stakeout. Voted least likely to do something crazy.
