My rating: 4 stars

At first i didn't like the story.i hate the characters, their attitude and how mean they were. they were so popular to the extent that they'd make fun of the people around them. it wasnt my type of story and looks very unrealistic. but as the main story unfolds i started to love the plot and how the story is looping over and over again. 

this book is unique and will make you realize a lot of things. things you need to apprecite while you're still alive and things you want to do and make the most out of it while you still have the time. 

i was hoping that the ending would turn as just a dream and everything would be back to normal without the time loop- but that wasn't the way it was written. 

im giving this four stars for making me scared of Julia's character. i felt reading a horror/suspense book when Sam kept on thinking about the gun shot act. hehe.
