Bridget Duke is the uncontested ruler of her school. The meanest girl with the biggest secret insecurities. And when new girl Anna Judge arrives, things start to fall apart for Bridget: friends don't worship as attentively, teachers don't fall for her wide-eyed "who me?" look, expulsion looms ahead and the one boy she's always loved—Liam Ward—can barely even look at her anymore.

When a desperate Bridget drives too fast and crashes her car, she ends up in limbo, facing everyone she's wronged and walking a few uncomfortable miles in their shoes. Now she has only one chance to make a last impression. Though she might end up dead, she has one last shot at redemption and the chance to right the wrongs she's inflicted on the people who mean the most to her.

And Bridget's about to learn that, sometimes, saying you're sorry just isn't enough….

Where do I start? I honestly just didn’t enjoy this book. I couldn’t get into the story, the characters were painfully annoying and the plot really boring. Half the book is about the bitchiness of the main character Bridget. Then, you see her learn about the real impact of her actions. Than in a couple of pages, she goes to those she wronged to be forgiven. How much times does she need to be forgiven by the five main people she wronged? Not even a day.

There were a couple of scene that was cute or funny, but honestly, Bridget really killed the book for me. With her as the main character, I could enjoy it, because I really don’t like her.

Probably one of the worst books I’ve read in 2011. Didn’t enjoy it at all

Not worth more than a 2/10
