It took me a moment to grasp everything that’s happened in this book before I can move on with my life. I didn’t really know what this book is about except that somehow the main character keeps living her last day over and over again.

His effect on his family has had a really bad impact because when they used to do normal family stuff like hunting or going out to eat he thinks of a way to kill himself and so now his family is afraid to go out because they might see death. Adam says, “I am a young boy who enjoys having fun with his family and friends in a small time to do but the only difference that separates me from all the others, I have killed myself 39 times.”. This book is a book that describes the life of a normal teenager that goes through normal things such as trying new things and falling in love but it’s not like a book that would you would read to see if it’s an adventure book. So in conclusion the book talks about a not so normal boy who has killed himself 39 times but not because he is a depressed hating life kid but there is nothing to do in his small town.

I also agree with the opinion that suffering might never end, like the novel indicates through imagery at the very end. The author manages to combine happy moments with sad ones even though the sad ones takes the larger share. In addition, he accomplished his aim of having an audience that is glued to the book all along sine it is both engaging and informative. The author has a perception that the world is composed of more bad things than the good ones. This novel will be important to me as I explore the themes of post-apocalyptic fears and human struggles.

this book is simply amazing. the entire writing style is on point and smooth throughout the story. the plot thickens and is left with a nice cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

It 's a jaw-dropping book that will leave you wanting more as the author Laurie writes in a crisp and clear way describing the young girl Melinda’s horrific story and how it unfolds. The author 's tone gives off the vibe of a young frighted girl which I find really enhances this sad, but exhilarating story. This story taught me to always speak up for myself and to never let anyone take advantage of me. I would recommend this novel because it is extremely detailed, painting vivid pictures in your mind that really help to magnify and

It was like watching a Netflix show that you are really into and after each episode you just wanted to find out what happens next. So you watch another show after another, and it ends up being really late. That is exactly how I felt reading this book. This book made me feel all sorts of emotions. At the beginning of the book I felt mad because Macy made some pretty dumb decisions that caused her to be in a bad situation.

Then maybe the students being bullied may have the ability to stand up for themselves knowing they have someone that have their back’s.

And finally as everyone around her starts to turn she realizes that she has to find out who or what is behind all this. And Lastly what this story has to teach people, the negativitys and the dangers of the internet, especially in today's society, everyone is on some type of social media on the internet that anyone can be on, there are hackers everywhere just waiting to get your information. You have to be very aware of people and what you’re logging on too. The way that this deviates from the conventions is people’s different points of views like some people may think it is a great book like myself, and others may think that it is horrible and doesn’t live up to the expectations that it plants in your mind.
