Synopsis:Samantha Kingston has it all: the world's most crush-worthy boyfriend, three amazing best friends, and first pick of everything at Thomas Jefferson High--from the best table in the cafeteria to the choicest parking spot. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life.
Instead, it turns out to be her last.
Then she gets a second chance. Seven chances, in fact. Reliving her last day 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.
My Rating: 9/10
My Thoughts:
LOVED IT! And I wasn't sure I would. I thought Sam was going to be really unlikeable and overall the story would be really morbid, but it wasn't. You get to see Sam's despair, and then growth as a person as she deals with the realization that she is repeating her last day over and over.
This is one of those books that makes you think. You think about your own life and what you are doing with it, and you think about how you treat other people around you. Books that make me think are the reason I read YA.
Though this book is sad, it's also hopeful. None of the characters are all bad (like, Sam's best friend) and none of them are perfectly good either. Everyone makes mistakes and everyone has their own personal issues they are dealing with. And that's how real life is.
Plus there is a hint of romance.
Go out and read this one, it's worth it.
