Lauren Oliver did an amazing job at getting the reader's attention and making them want more. As I was reading this book i couldn't help but wonder was is real life that Sam kept reliving the same day or was is just her imagination and she was actually dead and reliving this day over and over again. Every time Sam relives that day, she finds out more about the people around her, their lives, their secrets and their true self. In return she does a tremendous amount of soul searching herself, taking a hard look at who she is and what she is leaving behind. This makes the audience becomes aware of advice on hard lessons she's learning. Even though you read almost the same day over and over again, Oliver has done a great job with including small but big minor details that change the day every time. It forces the reader to have to read a lot more in depth and makes them think about how is this different from the last day. Not only does Sam turn into a better person then what she was at the beginning of the novel but she realizes who she became was not someone she wanted to be. Even though she used to be a very harsh mean teenager in order for everything to happen to her what did they we necessary. This novel also has many comical parts in it and is a very interesting read. All of the characters in this novel, I could personally relate to almost everyone in some way, whether it was the way i have acted or been treated, they are all very real life teenagers. The events that take place with all these characters are also very real life events, like how Sam firstly dies in a car crash because of a drunk driver, it is more then likely that everyone in this world knows of someone who has been involved in a crash with a drunk driver or has been the drunk driver.
