Eigentlich wollte ich hier gar keine Rezi schreiben sondern das Buch abbrechen, hätte ich auch machen sollen. Es geht ganz ok los, Sam “stirbt” bei einem Unfall und erlebt noch einmal ihren letzten Tag. Das las sich ganz gut, wenn auch nicht sonderlich aufregend. Dann erwacht sie am nächsten morgen ...
even with nougat, you can have a perfect moment
Ugh. I was so on board with this until the end. So literally the only way that she can stop Juliet from committing suicide is to sacrifice herself? And big ole meanie Sam deserves to die so much more than Juliet because...? I don't know, but after spending all this time with Sam and getting to see...

The Short Read

When I first picked up this novel, I didn't think I was going to enjoy it. I found myself not particularly liking the main character, her friends and their actions. Samantha Kingston is a girl most of us knew in high school. She's popular, loud, and doesn't seem to care what other's think of her. Sh...

This had been sitting on my shelf for a long time, and after finishing Eleanor & Park I was in the mood for a more serious contemporary, so I pulled this one out. I don’t regret reading it, but unfortunately it didn’t blow me away like it had so many other readers.That’s not to say I didn’t like it ...

*slight spoilers*Well, in the middle of typing my long review, my internet did something and it all got erased. Now I'm very angry over that. My previous review had a few good points such as good writing and gripping story(after struggling through the first few chapters) now I'm getting straight to ...

Pros: * mean girls meets groundhog day* interesting premise* thought provoking Cons:* tons of brand names* ending is perfect, but sadThis is a fantastic novel that explores why we do the things we do, and the fact that sometimes there isn't a good reason for our behavior. It also challenges the idea...

This review will contain spoilers, but these are put between spoiler tags. So don't click on the tag if you don't want to know. You've been warned!When I began reading this book I thought I wasn't going to like it. But I was in for a surpise. It started out a little too childish for my liking, but e...
Notes in the Margin
Notes in the Margin rated it 12 years ago
I had a hard time relating to Sam. She is the exact opposite of what I was in high school – kind of obsessed with her status, and knows where she stands and how to use it to her advantage. I guess I am still holding on to a little bit of that bitterness that even though I didn’t really care about ...
