Sam is in high school and, along with her stepbrother, Patrick becomes friends with Charlie at their school’s football game. She quickly became one of the main influences in Charlie’s life. She was known for getting drunk and sleeping around, and she said that she has slept with many guys who treated her poorly. As Sam continued to grow, she slowly began realizing that she is worth more and ended her sad cycle of sleeping around.
In senior year, Sam began dating Craig, who seemed to be more interested in a physical relationship than an emotional one. In the novel, Charlie said that it seems Craig fails to listen to her as he always seems „distracted“. He also noticed that Craig seemed more interested in himself than he was in Sam.
Nearing the end of the novel, Sam realized that Craig had been cheating on her throughout their relationship and broke it off with him. This quickly led to Charlie and Sam having a bit of an unofficial relationship before Sam headed off to college.
