This is a strange book and not an easy one for me to review. I'll keep this short. Sam isn't a character that would win any awards. I'm not sure I even liked her much at the end. But I personally don't think I know a soul who couldn't relate to her. Oliver captured high school and what goes on perfectly. I felt like I was 15 again and I didn't like it.
I'm not the type of person who needs to love the characters I read about and I'm definitely not the type who needs a happy ending. A lot of the time I prefer a more realistic ending actually. This fit with both of those patterns.
I was able to hate Lindsay and feel for her at the same time. That takes great skill on the part of the author. I love, love, love, love, Kent's character - love him. I know a Kent too. And I just recently met up with him again (thanks FaceBook!)
You'd think a book that takes a character living the same day over and over would get boring. I still don't know how Oliver kept that from happening but somehow she did.
Now, I'm not sure I even want to admit this but I'm not exactly sure how Sam really redeemed herself. She didn't seem to IMO. Maybe I'm just judging her more harshly than I should? Either way the book leans toward outstanding.
The cover is absolutely stunning also!
