Another book from the perspective of a dead girl. Sam is the second most popular senior girl at Thomas Jefferson High. She has been happy to be best friends with mean, defiant, alpha-queen Lindsay--as their group of four girls dominate the school. Sometimes they're mean and horrible, but they always have the most fun. That is until one night when driving home from a party, Lindsay--generally invincible--loses control of the car and in a flash of light and fire Sam finds herself fading into death.But she doesn't die. She wakes up and it's the morning of her last day alive. She relives this day seven times, growing from confusion to anger to understanding. This was a great book. It has all the draw of reading about the uber-popular, but the book definitely has a heart. The characters are excellent and it's a step above other books of it's kind.
