Reading this book is quite confusing, how can someone go from being dead and then wake up the next day and be alive again, but is also is a huge eye opener to girls who can relate to Sam in more then one way.
Sam cheats on quizzes, dates a popular jerk, flirts with her teacher hoping to get better grades, goes to drunken parties and ridicules losers. Her clique consists of popular girls and no exceptions, they rule their highschool with a sassy entitlement.
On page 18, this quote pretty much sums up Sam.
"So now I have first pick of everything. So what. That's the way it is. Nobody ever said life was fair."
This shows to the reader how spoiled, mean and rude Sam was until the say she died and got the chance to realize she had to change. Sam used to bully kids at school and her little sister Izzy at home who never did anything but try to help. Then when she finally realizes she needs to change and wants to be a good role model for Izzy, she gets her life back on track and lives for today, like it might be her last.
Sam flashes back to being the loserest of the loser back in middle school before she became popular. Her boyfriend, Rob used to be the meanest, and most rudest guys to Sam before she became more of a woman and started to become known as a popular girl. When Sam travels back in time she realizes that she should understand and sympathize for the loners, not criticize and bully them because not very long ago she used to be just like them.
Not many highschool girls realize that they are just like Sam. They are bullies. Many girls also know what it's like to be bullied and how you feel so awful afterwards. Juliet comitted suicide and more and more teenagers are begining to do the same, just because of bullying.
