"Because I don't want you to look at me like I'm dying. I want you to look at me like I'm the only girl you want to fall in love with."
Samantha is twenty-one years old-and already living by a list she wrote at seventeen, one meant to prepare her for the life she thought she'd have by twenty-five.
The summer before her senior year, Sam sets out to finally complete that list: unfinished goals, quiet dreams, and risks she's avoided for years. What she doesn't expect is how deeply the journey will change her. As love enters her life in unexpected ways, Sam is forced to confront who she's been, who she's becoming, and who she wants to be by the time she turns twenty-five.
Between family obligations, personal ambition, and lessons that can't be learned in a classroom, Sam discovers that being a hustler means more than chasing success, being family-oriented requires sacrifice, and being a learner sometimes means unlearning everything you thought you knew.
Sam's 25 is a tender, heartfelt coming-of-age story about time, love, and the courage it takes to live fully-before the clock runs out.
