the writing for this book is genius. the plot is not really simple nor complicated. it's just deep. to be able to live the moment you are about to die is a lot for Sam(the main character) to take. and to be able to make a difference, as she start to realize things after living the same moment over a...

I didn't have a chance to review this book last year because I don't know what rating will I give. First, I gave it 3 - stars and now, 1- star rating.I was able to save my thoughts on my diary of what I think about this book. I'm hesitant to post it and most people I know love this book so much. So ...

Goodreads summary: For popular high school senior Samantha Kingston, February 12—"Cupid Day"—should be one big party, a day of valentines and roses and the privileges that come with being at the top of the social pyramid. And it is…until she dies in a terrible accident that night.However, she stil...

The moment of death is full of heat and sound and pain bigger than anything, a funnel of burning heat splitting me in two, something searing and scorching and tearing, and if screaming were a feeling it would be this. Then nothing. Samantha Kingston (Sam) is a popular high school senior and today...

Ok, here's what's going to happen. I wrote down some random thoughts that I wanted to make sure that I talked about in this post, so we're just going to have no fluency or segues. It'll just be a mess of thoughts, much like how I think regularly. Here we go.I first picked up this book because I saw ...

5 Stars What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life? It is one of the most touching books I've read. The other one was The Fault in Our Stars. Samantha Kingston is a not-so-average teenager who has everything other kids ...

This. This is how you take a hateful protagonist (or at least, one that makes you cringe a lot) and still have you relate. This is how you build a teen cast and make them believable. It's all about layers and growth. There is so much about this I liked. So many issues addressed that make me want t...

Before I Fall is the kind of book that stays with you even when you're done reading it. It makes you think. It's poignant, sad, beautiful and amazing. Samantha, even with all of her faults and the mistakes she made, is an outstanding protagonist. I enjoyed watching her grow, watching her learn from ...

It's been mentioned a few dozen times before in reviews, but I have to agree..... This is a mix of Mean Girls and Groundhog Day and it's a brilliant mix of the two.The lead character isn't likeable. She's hateful, but by the end of the book I was cheering her on to succeed in what she was aiming for...
