AND, of course, a yummy topping of the not-popular yet not-geeky adorable boy.

She has the perfect writing recipe for a YA book: just enough humor, add an utterly powerful message, some edgy-sarcastic dialog, the right amount of description spiced with delicious imagery, throwing in some easy-to-relate-to back-stories and some shocking OMG moments. I must admit that Lauren's writing blew me away.

A knot in my stomach from a sudden realization of how we take things for granted, when we never truly know how much time we have left, and we don't realize how one little decision affects everything around us. The ending left me speechless, with a vague sense that I should fix my life just like Sam fixed hers. The plot kept twisting and untwisting, flowing beautifully, leaving you engaged, wishing to inhale the book in a few seconds. This book is extremely powerful, an emotional roller-coaster that will take your breath away. This is one of the best novels I've read lately. 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. Friday, February 12 should be just another day in her charmed life.įortunately, she gets a second chance. 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. What if you had only one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?
