its quite depressing isnt it? poor girl, lol i am on day five that she is spending with her sister
I guess that it is a bit depressing, however, if you look at the situations and try to think about how you relate to others in your life maybe some things can be learned. I know for me it has me thinking about how I relate to people in my life.
yeah I know right? but its quite sad that no matter what she does to change, people do not realise
Mod
yeah that's what I thought as well, that was disappointing
Mod
yeah that too, and the ending was hazy sort of, and meets her love only to just die, lol life can be cruel
So far I'm truely enjoying the book. I'm just finishing the day she spends with her sister and family. So far I believe that she needs to change in order to be able to get out of the cycle and actually die. She's kind of in her own personal hell and the only way to stop it is to change her behavior. I have yet to finish the book but I don't think I ever believed that she would live and by the time the day with her family arrives I think she's realizing it too.
oh! sorry I thought you finished the book lol I just spoiled everything for youyoy enjoying it though? ?
No worries the book is not spoiled for me I am very much enjoying it and I am about 130 pages from finishing.
oh great, lol day four was my favourite, she just went crazy, kissing the teacher and everything
Day four was fun but I really liked day five when she hangs out with her little sister. I can relate to that I was the little sister but my sister and I didn't hang out until later in life. That night wasn't so fun but the day was good.
yeah that day was good too, really sweet actually
I just finished the book last night. I think I realized that Samantha was never going to live she just needed to make some changes in her life to be able to get out of her own personal hell. This is a new and differnt way to look at death and the difference between heaven and hell, in my opinion. I very much enjoyed the book and it had me thinking about my own life and the relationships within it... I have always said that I will read almost any kind of book but I don't know as I thought that this book would touch me the way that it has. I will and have recommended it to the people that I work with and all of my friends.
I know right, it got me thinkin as well, life is really short and I was really sad for Kent, I mean he finally got her in that last day, for him anyway and loses her like 30mins later, its quite sad isn't it?
I agree that it's sad but it made me want to be sure to be in touch with my family because you don't know when the end will come for anyone.
Yeah that's the thing because you know how she kept going back and thinking that the party was really dumb? So it's an eye opener because we take such stupid things and make them important whilst forgetting things like love and family and other such things
True. You have to figure out the priorities in your life and be willing to stick to them I find it hard sometimes in the world we live these days.
yeah! isn't it hard?but then we get older we change, so for her, she had to grow in those 7 days
boy did she grow!!!
lol yes! hahaha, I mean how many ppl would sacrifice their lives for a girl that just the day before, they called psycho?
I still keep thinking about this book....so good.
I agree Norelle. This is the first book in a long time that I have been recommending to the people that I work with because I really think that they will enjoy the story line!!!
