About this listen

Now a major motion picture.

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?

The ending really showed me and helped me with my fear that of death although I still fear. It did also bring alive again the story of youth dying but it was amazing how Sam was able to fix everything and how much she goes through the stages of grief. It was just great

Amazing

Very long winded, find it hard to find time to finish the story,voice of narrator sounded annoying, but probably more because the character that the narrator is trying to portray.

The book is really well written but the narrator adds a whole extra layer of good voice acting and feeling to it. 10/10. I'm crying but I love it.

The narrator is amazing

I decided to read this book after I watched the movie and it was the right decision because that way the movie wasn’t spoiled and the book was still a surprise. This book about teenagers, love and exploring the world is very relatable to youngsters and to adults too. The story of Sam Kingsley and her path of realisation of the right way will definitely leave anyone surprised but content. The mix of emotions that you feel towards the main character will always keep you on the edge of your seat. And those emotions can change every second, you will be angry at Sam, you will pity her but at the end you will love her. This book is one of those that connect with the reader at a deeper and emotional level, not going to hide I did slip a tear or two. Moreover, this book can relate to many different types of people... doesn’t matter who you are you will be able to see yourself in Sam’s shoes. I’m not going to say that this book “changed my life” but it definitely made me think and understand some new things about it. Will surely be one of the books on my top 10 list!

This is the first time I've finished a whole audiobook. I enjoyed the journey and the message, although I disliked most of the main characters (which is kind of the point).
Personally high school dramas don't have the same effect on me as they used to - If I'd read this 8 years ago I would've found it much more relatable.

Loved the story. The reader was ok. The valley girl voices got annoying real quick and the voice she chose to use for Kent was a bit annoying but other than that it was so good. Towards the end it got so good I had to spend hours finishing it.

Cried a few times. Such a great story.

Great story and really easy to listen to. The voice actress is clearly very good but she does these off putting voices for almost everyone aside the main character, which really takes away from the story. Overall very enjoyable listen

Great story, great voice acting, annoying voices
