2) How much you've read before
I hope I don't sound too much like a bitch now :) That's just how I feel about the book :)
Don't get me wrong, this book was written beautifully, but it lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. I loved the storyline. Sam was an interesting character that, although shallow at times, I grew to love. However, I feel that she didn't quite solve things by the end of the book. I wasn't expecting her to live or anything, I just thought that the moments leading up to the fatal ending could've been more uplifting, to where she was ready to go and satisfied of what she had made herself. Maybe she was satisfied, but I know that I wouldn't have been if I were in her shoes. Sam was so sweet in some parts, but sometimes she just didn't use her head. Overall, this was a good book. Not the best, but definitely not the worst.


I thought it was beautifully written but I hated how it ended.
I liked the book, and I'm really glad that I won it through the Goodreads Giveaway program because it introduced me to Lauren Oliver. The book is really good, and I liked how each day was the same day, but Sam was able to find a way to make each day better.
