16. The main character changed many things about her personality from the beginning of the story to the end. Samantha Kingston started out as a self centered, egotistical, cruel, popular girl but information she learns throughout the story changes her whole perspective of life. Juliet Sykes is a quiet girl Sam and her friends have been bullying since sixth grade. Normally Sam could care less about Juliet's life, but events throughout the story have her fighting to save it and her own. Sam finds herself trapped inside a curse that has her reliving the day she died over and over, but she cannot figure out why. Then it dawns on her when Juliet commits suicide and Sam lives, but the day is still replayed; their deaths are connected.

I least like Lindsay, because she is a self absorbed,
