It could have been so much more interesting, but characters were unnecessarily cruel

Book 8 of 2023 done! Two books read and six books listened to. I think the goal will be 12 books read and 24 in total for the year. This one was fine. There's a strong anti-bullying theme to the book but the ending feels a little flat. The main character has no chance to really make up for her actions.

It was a captivating story. I could not put the book down because I just wanted to know what was next. The end of the story, makes you feel something. The book is emotional but by the end you will feel a satisfaction and a new appreciation for your own life. This is a great read. The movie doesn‘t compare to the book, but do they ever? 🧐 #review #worthreading #emotional #appreciatelife #riveting #mustread #booksarebetterthanmovies #YA

If I had written this rewiew 200 pages ago, it would most probably have been a so-so. I felt it was a regular #groundhoundday type of story. But there was a twist I hadn't seen coming that made me hooked to the book until the end. Great #YA book. Totally worth it if you like the genre.

I loved Lauren Oliver's book called VANISHING GIRLS, but I feel disappointed with this book.

Victoriahoperose I liked Vanishing Girls a lot too. This one was okay, but not my favorite. I thought the repetitiveness got to be too much. 4y

I know this book is supposed to make you think about how your actions affect other people, which is good but this book was not for me. I was not in the mood to relive High School. While I suppose it's realistic, I don't think it sets a good example. I think listening to it on audio made it worse. Next time I'll stick to historical YA. #TripleSpin. @TheAromaofBooks #YAApril @megnews

ravenlee I‘m never in the mood to relive high school! In fact I have a recurring nightmare in which I have to go back to school, as an adult, because I didn‘t complete some requirement, and I keep screaming that I have college degrees and shouldn‘t be here. 😬 4y
sblbooks @ravenlee That would definitely be a nightmare, if I had to go back to school. 4y
Texreader @ravenlee I‘m certain I‘ve had that dream a time or two. It‘s dreadful! 4y

The idea of this book has been used over and over again, yet somehow the author managed to recreate the idea and fit it into something completely natural, that the book feels oddly supernatural. Once again a meaningful book that definitely gave me a new perspective of life. The character development is unbelievable, and the movie even does justice to the book so I would reccomend that as well.

I normally do not read YA (read this for a reading challenge). This one was rather thought-provoking, however. A popular high-school senior is on her way home from a party when she dies in a car accident. But then she wakes up again the next day…and the next, for an entire week. Each day she has an opportunity to see how her actions affect the lives of others around her. It‘s kind of like the plot of “Groundhog Day,” but for teens.

wildwoodreads I adored this book. I read it several years ago when I was still in high school and I still think about it. I‘ve read several of Lauren Oliver‘s other books as well and none have disappointed. 5y

Hated the ending 👎🏽 SPOILER: I can accept death as an ending, but I need it to be hopeful and this one wasn‘t hopeful enough. I needed to know what happened to Sam‘s friends and family and Juliet.

Mean Girls meets Groundhog Day spun this story of a vapid, teenage girl who changes over the course of the book, reliving her last day alive. While there were some beautiful quotes in this, it was way to angsty and too much kissing for my liking. Which is saying something because I love my YA! Only 3 stars from me on this one, sadly.

Also, there were some trigger subjects in this book I wasn't expecting and it caught me off guard.

TaylorMay I completely agree with your review. I read it quickly but was not impressed. I didn't even bother with the movie. 6y
Kaylamburson I had no idea there was a movie @TaylorMay but I definitely wasn‘t a fan either. 6y
TaylorMay Yeah they did one I think last Feb or so? It came out around the time of a few other YA adaptions. It did help when I read something explaining that the different days she lived were her going through the stages of greif. I appreciate what they were attempting but it's always hard when the main character isn't likeable. Which to me she wasn't 6y

“And I guess that‘s when it starts to hit me: the whole point is, you do what you can.” Lauren Oliver, Before I Fall

I always enjoy Oliver‘s writing, and even though I liked this book, I did find it very repetitive.

On a side note, look how cute this picture is. 😍

bg_reads What a cute photo! I always have a hard time buying books that have a face taking up a lot of the cover. I find it creepy, for some reason! 6y
books.and.fluff @cbwaug I do admit, it is a bit of a creepy cover. But it was $3 so I wasn‘t going to complain. 😂 6y
bg_reads @books.and.fluff I get it! Ha! Some things are just unavoidable. It is so hard to walk away from a price like that! 6y

I really wanted to like this but I found myself slogging through just for the sake of finishing it. In the end, I found the narrator annoying and didn‘t care about any of the characters or what happened to them. My mind was made up to bail when I started listening to the next audiobook in my queue and was much more engaged than I had ever been in this story.

Kaylamburson I felt the same way! 6y

I actually want to rate this 3.5 but that‘s not an option. I think it was a good read and I was involved with the main character. I just didn‘t care for the ending. Maybe it‘s me. I don‘t want to spoil it or anything but it was s good book. It made me think. Every decision you make whether it‘s a good or bad one has consequences. Smiling at a stranger could change that person‘s entire day. We need to be more aware of how we treat people.

When I picked this book up, I was a bit skeptical. How on earth can you make a book interesting when it is just repeating the same things over and over again. I had read a few other Lauren Oliver books, and I enjoyed them, however I wouldn‘t say that they were my favorites. To my surprise, the book had my attention cover-to-cover. The only thing I didn‘t appreciate was that the main character seemed slightly underdeveloped. 4.5/5 stars!
