“A captivating and gorgeously written story about longing, destiny, and the infinite possibilities, and versions, of love. No one writes romance like Dustin Thao and this one is a beauty.” —Kathleen Glasgow, #1 bestselling author of Girl in Pieces
It’s been a year since his best friend, Sam, died. Even though Oliver knows he won’t get a response, he can’t stop texting Sam’s number, especially as the anniversary of his death approaches.
Then one day he accidentally hits the call button, and someone picks up.

But Ben, a college student in Seattle, won’t remain a stranger for long. When they finally meet in person, their spark is undeniable. Everything seems perfect until Oliver discovers something strange might be keeping them apart.

A year after Sam’s death, Oliver is still grieving, coping the only way he knows how: by texting Sam’s old number. When he accidentally calls it, he’s shocked to discover that a boy named Ben has been receiving all his messages. What follows is a quiet, tender story about connection, grief, and healing.
You’ve Found Oliver is emotional in the best way—heartbreaking yet heartwarming. Thao does a beautiful job layering flashbacks and dreams to show Oliver’s bond with Sam, deepening the story’s emotional impact. I really loved Oliver’s dry humor and sarcasm — it made him feel real, even as he’s falling apart. His chemistry with Ben is slow, thoughtful, and incredibly well-developed.
A quick, emotional, and gentle read about love, loss, and learning to move on without forgetting the people we’ve lost. I highly recommend it.

I liked this one way more than the first book. Oliver was a much more likeable character than Julie was in the first book. She's a great friend in this one and I love that for both her and Oliver. I absolutely loved all the astronomy and Philosophy lessons you get in this one. As I was reading this I was thinking I might not cry but as the story goes on and things were happening I had this pit start to grow in my stomach. I did cry a bit but by the end I found my smile.
