Samantha Kingston has it all: looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last.
The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. Living the last day of her life seven times during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death--and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.
Summary from Goodreads.
I wasn't sure what to expect with this book. It completely
blew me away. It is almost beyond words how heart-wrenching and beautiful this
book is. This entire book is about Sam’s growth. Her growth is masterfully done.
Do not let who she is at the beginning of the book deter you from reading it.
She changes from a mean-girl into a caring and compassionate adult. Even in the
beginning you can see glimpses of the person she becomes. She is a wonderfully
made character, because you care for her. She is not the only fully-fleshed out
character. As the days go by each secondary character is revealed fully even
though it is always the same day. Lauren Oliver treats all of her characters as
people. This is not a stereotypical story. This is a real one. In this book you
see the good, the bad, and why everyone does what they do.
This book is never boring. Sam’s choices made each day
different and there were surprises on each day. Also the emotions she goes
through as her world view is shattered keep you gripped. Another thing that
keeps you turning the pages is what is looming over the story. Her death. This
book starts with her death and that pulls you to find out if it will end with
it. Be prepared for tears when you read this, but be sure you do.
I give this book an A+
