“What if you only had one day to
live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save
your own life?
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.”
I don’t
usually like the concept of the main character of a book dying, however, this
book is a standout. It even makes you think about how much even the smallest of
your actions have the potential to cause considerable effects on the lives of
the others around you.
Sam starts
off as being your classic “mean girl”, with the stereotypical looks, boyfriend
and reputation. The beginning of the book makes you wonder why you have chosen
to read something that describes this girl’s apparently perfect, envied and yet
shallow life in detail.
However,
the book then takes a turn and Sam loses her life. The seven days that she
remarkably lives through afterwards absolutely drag you in to see everything that
she then goes through, and makes you feel for her in a way that you didn’t
think you would at the beginning.
The blurb
makes the book sound like it has a potentially tedious Groundhog Day type of
theme, but it turns out to be so much more, and not in the least bit boring to
read.
I highly
recommend this book, it genuinely makes you realize that you have to appreciate
every moment you have, be grateful for the people you have around you and to live
your life to the absolute fullest. Even if you find yourself disliking it
through the beginning, keep on reading, as you find yourself appreciating every
single detail of the book at the end!
