I think it's funny that when I read the back of the book, I thought, "Hey, it's like that Groundhog's Day movie!" and then almost the exact same thing is said IN THE BOOK! It was obviously an inspiration to Oliver.

However, knowing this, I prepared myself to hate the book. The proof is right there in the book itself; the plot isn't going to be original. Plus Sam, our protagonist, is one of those mean-popular-girl types; not exactly very likable.

i read a long amazon preview of this up to page 115 but it became very monotonous and it was so clear to see the direction this book was headed in it was so predictable i hope the movie which i will hopefully get to see is done in a less monotonous way

It was a very interesting book to read. My first time reading such writing style. And I wished I have that kind of life even I have to die. I want to make the lives of the people around be have the best ever after I die... Highly recommended for those who wants to get their heart touched. (From my opinion, though.. I got touched. Not sure if you would)

A fantastic and emotional book with a good message. Sam's a very realistic character and at times you can really hate her and other times you can really love her. Just a very well told story :) Also, Kent's pretty much a perfect love interest haha. ...more
