Sam and her friends are the stereotypical popular mean girls. For the first half of the book, this is made quite clear to the point of being obnoxious. I really just wanted to slap each of them, especially Lindsay. However the exploration into why they behaved the way they did eventually make me more understanding. (I still think they were pretty shallow though.) The portrayal of teenage behavior and attitude was pretty spot on. What I enjoyed most was seeing Sam grow over the seven days. The last day was heartbreaking but I believe that Sam completely redeems herself of all previous awful behavior. It left me in tears with a book hangover.
