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.
Fortunately, 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.
Lauren Oliver's debut novel has been described as a cross between Mean Girls and Groundhog Day and has been the buzz all over blogdom. This was a unique way in which to tell Sam's story of metamorphosis. A very thought provoking, emotional read that will resonate with young people. "Mean" has a history and as hard as it is to deal with mean people, if we know that, it may help in understanding rather than alienating. However, it is never alright to follow along with a mean person just to be one of the crowd!
