Descripción editorial
A bestselling summer read as heartbreaking as The Lovely Bones and as gripping as Jenny Downham's Before I Die.

They say 'live every day as if it's your last' - but you never actually think it's going to be. At least I didn't.
The thing is, you don't get to know when it happens. You don't remember to tell your family that you love them or - in my case - remember to say goodbye to them at all.
But what if, like me, you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes, would you have no regrets? Or are there some things you'd want to change...?
'This book will take your breath away' She
'A beautifully written and outrageously weepy tale' Daily Mirror
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Beautiful, popular Samantha and her three best friends are the ruthless queen bees of their high school. But Samantha is living a nightmare: throughout the book, she relives the day of her death seven times, with some dramatic alterations and revelations depending on her choices ditching school to spend time with her younger sister or, on a day when life s rules have all but lost their meaning, seducing a teacher. She faces the often tragic consequences of even the smallest acts, awakens to the casual cruelties all around her, and tries to get things right and maybe even redeem herself. If this sounds too much like a Groundhog Day style plot, make no mistake: evocative of Jenny Downham s Before I Die, Oliver s debut novel is raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful ( It amazes me how easy it is for things to change, Samantha thinks. how easy it is to start off down the same road you always take and wind up somewhere new ). Samantha s best friends are funny, likable, and maddening, but readers will love Samantha best as she hurtles toward an end as brave as it is heartbreaking. Ages 14 up.
