They say 'live every day as if it's your last' - but you never actually think it's going to be. At least I didn't.

The thing is, you don't get to know when it happens. You don't remember to tell your family that you love them or - in my case - remember to say goodbye to them at all.

But what if, like me, you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes, would you have no regrets? Or are there some things you'd want to change...?

This book was amazing in all ways and Sarah did a fantastic job of narrating with her voice changing for the characters and she was great for getting the tone right with all positions needed in the book. This is one of those books that will stay with people after listening/reading.

Amazing!

This is a brave book. It takes an arresting concept and executes it well, especially for its YA audience.

If you find yourself really not enjoying this book and not liking the protagonist or any of her friends much at the start, bear with it, since this is the point. I nearly gave up after the first hour or two but read a few reviews and decided to stay with it. Very quickly after that, it all clicked into place. For the character and story arc, we need to give her space. The author understands she had to be flawed to begin with; otherwise, how could she grow? Like us all, she is flawed, human and sometimes unkind or thoughtless; this just makes it more interesting. It's also a bit of a meditation on mindfulness.

An interesting read that has far more depth and substance than on first appearance – a metaphor for all of us perhaps, and giving everyone a chance, and taking time to be present in the moment of our lives with the people we love. Skilfully sculpted.

An arresting concept that gains momentum

Ich höre Hörbücher häufig zum einschlafen. Dieses hat mich wach gehalten. Aus dem positiven Grund weil die Geschichte so gut ist und sie die kleinen Vernetzungen im Leben darstellt. Aus dem negativen Grund weil die Stimmt der Erzählerin schnell und hoch ist. Schönes Buch.

Schöne Geschichte

Some reviews mention that the character is an awful person- completely missing that that is the entire point, and further encouraging a standard, bland protagonist with no personality. This book is easily one of my favourites, the author manages to perfectly illustrate this surreal experience, keeping me entertained throughout. it's funny, frustrating and insightful. a must read. I read it as a book first and couldn't put it down. the reader definitely does the book justice.

Amazing
