## Series Overview

Sam is a minor character in Julie's story during the beginning of Book 1, but soon becomes a pivotal character and her primary love interest. They date for a short time before breaking up over a love web involving Ryder and Brittany. He then gets back with Brittany briefly until she breaks up with him to start early at MIT. After graduating, Sam moves to New York, getting a short-lived spin-off called Classic New York Roommates, where he pursues a modeling career, as well as meets and begins dating Mandy. He visits to Lima periodically during Book 2 and eventually moves back to start a local band. In Book 3, he and John Brown start a band with Ryder and Marley, calling it 140 Characters. He works on writing with Julie, a time during which they become close to each other again. The band is later offered a record deal and begin to put together an album. Sam is at school when a disturbed student walks around with a gun and ends up trapped in Will's office with Julie and Jake. After Jake leaves them to save Kitty, he comforts Julie and they end up having sex, cheating on both Jake and Mandy. Though they plan on being with each other, Sam finds out that Mandy is pregnant and asks her to marry him, breaking Julie's heart and leading to estrangement. During the missing years, Mandy has a miscarriage and she and Sam break up in their grief. Sam then visits Julie in college, asking him to marry her, but she rejects him and sends him back to Mandy. He and Mandy get engaged again and experience great success in their professional lives, becoming powerful figures in the music and modeling industries, respectively, and a celebrity couple. Sam's band, now named Crystal Army, becomes the biggest band in the world. In Book 4, Sam and John's distance from Julie has led to issues in both writing good music and in their band's dynamic, leading to their drummer quitting. They return to Lima when Alex agrees to join the band, making it home in time for a glee club reunion. Sam is flirty with Julie, which she resents given his engagement to Mandy. He then joins Blackbird Records to be close to her and even writes the band's new lead single about her, but when Mandy returns his focus has to be the band and his upcoming wedding only. Due to Mandy's insecurities about Sam's lingering feelings for Julie and her own blossoming romance with John, the wedding is called off. Sam and Julie have a one-night stand in Hawaii and she ends up pregnant. However, they choose not to get together again. In Book 5, Sam falls into a coma, during which his twin daughters, Isabella and Gabriella, are born. He misses a month of their lives and wakes up to find that Julie is going through serious postpartum depression. They attempt to reconcile and become a real couple but his near-death experience has led him to reconsider what he wants in life and he decides that being romantically involved with Julie isn't it. In Book 6, Sam and Julie struggle to come up with a good custody arrangement but eventually create a reasonable plan for raising their daughters. He meets Eva Jones, a writer who is very similar to Julie, as well as Cleo White, a model very similar to Mandy, and gets into a brief love triangle before deciding he wants to be with Eva instead. She later breaks up with him due to his tendency to make every decision for her.
