Chloe (chloebooklover) If you died and got to relive that day 7 times, just like Sam did, what would you do? Would you confess things? Do wild things? Say goodbye to everyone you loved?


Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) I wouldn't keep so often going in the car in the morning and going to school. I don't think.


Miss Bookiverse (missbookiverse) I think I'd try to tell someone and to somehow proove what's happening to me.


Chloe (chloebooklover) Yeah, I think I would try to tell my family or best friend. Otherwise I'd think I'd gone mad.


Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) I would have confided in someone too.

Shelby (cinephiledreams) I think I would have confided in someone, as well. The situation would have been too weird for me to just keep it all bottled inside.


Adriana (msbibliotecaria) | 29 comments I also would tell those closest to me, and then I would try to spend as much time with the people I love, visit some places, pray, and probably eat a lot of really great (and greasy) food.

Vanessa (ayeestrella) | 14 comments I probably would stay awayyyy from the car and the party-I mean hellooo if I see myself die over and over again in the same place then by the third day I would stick to staying home and taking a bus to school lol. I would definitely try to do as much of the things that I wanted to do before my time was up. I would dump Rob and talked to Kent maybe even confided in him, its not like they could put me in a hospital since the next day I would be back to square one. And I would be extremely depressed at the beginning, I would try to write everyone a good-bye letter everyday just in case I didnt get the chance to tell them I loved them or even leave something especially to Izzy since it would be the hardest on her .

I never really thought about how hard it would be on Izzy, but that is a really great point. She admires Sam so much.

I agree about the telling someone. At least one of those days I would've tried. I think one day I would freak out and not leave the house EVER. Then I would do crazy things..... I think that is just an automatic response. How much can one person get away with. Sometimes I think of my last day on the planet and I can say without a doubt I would want to spend it with family.


Carly (carlybass) Tell someone, for sure! :D Then I would just enjoy every single day to the max, eat like there was no tomorrow, enjoy everything (even the simplest things), spend time with the people I love, and just do crazy things that I'd never do. :) By the end I would say goodbye to everyone I love, and be happy that I was able to spend my last 7 days wonderfully!

Lisa Vegan (lisavegan) Of course, Sam never knew each day whether it would be truly her last. Each day she expected she might die and that might be it.

I am surprised there were no days there where she didn't just stay up all night. When I was her age I did it all the time. Stay up 36 hours straight. I probably would've done it because I was afraid to go to sleep.

Good point! Me too!!!


Tatiana (tatiana_g) I would probably tell my friends one of the days. And not go to school.


Winna (winnaefendi) | 16 comments I thought at least she should've told someone and nobody believed her. It would have been a lot more believable.


Miss Bookiverse (missbookiverse) I always find it rather tiring when the characters tell the truth and nobody believes them even though the reader knows it's the truth. So I'm glad there were no pages wasted with this kind of action.
