What if you were granted the chance to remake the most important decisions of your life?

High school is a place to make beautiful, long lasting memories, or at least that’s what Lara Davis used to believe.

Everything changed when her life took a drastic turn. She surprised everyone by paying death a visit before her 16th birthday.

Taken to a whole new world with no one or nothing but her thoughts, she confronts the truth for the first time. Will she be able to handle what she is about to discover?

That was unexpected in a very good way. I truly enjoyed the book and cried A LOT tbh 😂 I was so connected to the characters and surprisingly I liked every POV especially Nirvana(fav character too🫶🏼). So touching and such an important topic. RECOMMEND HIGHLY ❤️❤️❤️

I HAD SO MUCH FUN READING THIS BOOK!!! Honestly speaking, I had mixed feelings. One time I’m sad. Another time I’m angry. Sometimes over the moon. And sometimes I wanna scream so loud!! I’ve never read a book with more than 2 POV but this was amazing. Every POV was awesome. My absolute favorite character is Nirvana obv. This book felt so real. I didn’t feel any exaggeration. It was so realistic “yeah I know about the being dead part and listening to ppl while being dead is not real” but other than that, it was so realistic. The struggles everybody has been through was so touching. It discusses everyday struggle in school or home and how to overcome it. I loved it so much and I really can’t get enough of it.🥺❤️❤️

It's an astonishing book that will touch you with every word in it and it discusses a lot of issues in our real lives and contain words that we need to hear to feel stronger and keep on living.

I just started reading the book today but god it was amazing in every way possible. How I felt connected to the book, to the way of writing making you understand it easily, and how the idea that the author wrote about can actually happen in real life. And everyone who understands English even if they are not really good, they can read it because it use easy English.

literally one of the best books I’ve ever read i lovee the mental awareness in it and how brutally honest it is!
Seeing the different perspectives of the characters was great and so catchy.
I loveee the girls power in this book and how it raises awareness in a very simple, light and entertaining way

[RUEYEAHYEAH · Rating 5 out of 5]

It really is a thinker, seeing all of her stories of why she would do what she did is both awaking and heartbreaking at the same time I 10/10 would recommend

TW: Bullying, Violence, Some abusive words.

My thoughts;
To be frank, I got so many things to say but I will just make this review short since I know I might reveal some spoilers.

I enjoyed the main theme that the author put in the book, and it was easy to dive into. I love how it is told in Multi-POV each is in the first person, which could take me to the worlds of each character and enable me to recognize all the perspectives, to feel all the emotions of what they suffered from. And I also liked how every chapter end up within short pages.

This is my first experience with the author and it is also her first work, and I have to say that I love it so much, not a long time after releasing this "Second Chances...?" book, she's nailed in releasing her second book and this one is Poetry. You can check out her page on Instagram and place your order from her, she always has offers for both books, or you can also find her books in some bookstores in Egypt. Go grab them, guys!!

Quotes-
🖤 Our lives are not just ours. They also belong to the ones we love. We cannot just make a decision like the one you made without thinking about them.

🤍You taught me how to face my fear of heights and I will teach you how to see the love that people have for you in their smallest acts.

🖤Losing your loved ones or seeing them in danger is one of the worst experiences in life.

It just great book. It's believe that it is your first attempt for writing. The story heavied me as the emotions I get so attached to Lara hurting for what she had been through before suicide, feeling sympathy on Isabella and Amber with some annoying because I believe that everyone is responsible for their decision but the only thing that lessen my agitation is they were young ages with space in making faults. I really hates the conclusion that we spare our love to who we carried for and loss a lot of time we can spent with until we loose them we wake up to express our love and care about them and it always be at the end or mainly after they pass away. I hope that everyone expresses their loves and care when there's still in our lives and let them enjoy being beloved not afterwards.

Unexpected to say the least!
I loved the plot, the different perspectives and the ending. I loved the characters and their stories, but my favorites were Luke and Amber!
It encourages us to see the light at the end of the tunnel and to know that there’ll always be light after the darkness.
