I'll admit that when I finished the book, I hated the ending. I wanted Sam to be alive and finally have her relationship with Kent and be an all around better person because of her reliving that dreadful day. Your comments have given be a new insight to this though.hsimone wrote: 3) This is an interesting thought - leading Kent on knowing that it was going to be her final day. I didn't really think too much about this, but I do agree that it wasn't fair or right for Kent. Now, it's going to be that much harder to get over her.
5) I would hope that Sam didn't die in vain. I'm hoping that since she saved Juliet's life that Lindsey would approach her and maybe rekindle their lost friendship.
I hope that Lindsey and Juliet either rekindle the friendship or at least Lindsey apologizes and makes Juliet realize that her life is worth living. I do feel horrible for Kent though. He just found out that she actually likes him too when she's taken from him.

Same here.ashley_claire wrote: ↑01 Feb 2016, 11:44 I was a little disappointed that Sam died at the end of the book, but honestly I didn't really care that much because I wasn't really invested in her. I somewhat disagree with her supposed character growth. I think most of the nicer things she did was just because she was trying to find a way to save herself and get the day "right" so that the cycle would hopefully stop.
There is nothing relatable in the book for me, so I am emotionally detached from the whole thing.
If Sam lived at the end of the story, it will make the plot predictable.
I guess the message in the book is not how she gets redemption after she tried everything to make things right.
Maybe the book only showed the things and people Sam missed while she was still alive, which will leave her contemplating about them (and nothing else).

At the very end of the book, I just remember thinking 'This can't be it'.
But it was.

- Latest Review: McDowell by William H. Coles
Frankly, her death seemed to be the most impactful isolated act she committed, and, for a book exploring the consequences of one's actions, it felt like the ending left a huge gap for what could happen next, which I can appreciate. I see a lot of people really didn't like the ending, and—to a degree—I do agree. Still, if she had lived, I think it would have detracted from the emotional impact, at least in my case.

I didn't expect that too, and it's a no for me.Sarah_Khan wrote: ↑01 Feb 2016, 15:00 Personally I liked the ending and I never expected her to get her life back. I think if she did then that would kind of make the whole book pointless.
