5.0

I hated Sam so much in her first few days but actually grew to not hate her by the fourth and fifth day. she had a lot of great character development and just self-realization as she kept going. and while the ending was pretty predictable (for me at least) i really enjoyed this read and could hardly put it down

The start of this book is kind of slow and irritating because Sam is not the greatest person but that’s the point. As she relives this day over and over she obviously starts changing. This book did make me cry. I also liked the ending even though I did cry because it’s not what you expect.
