Samantha Kingston reveals a stunning thing at the start of her first-person narrative: she has died. Sam is a popular high-school senior in suburban Connecticut, who dies a sudden, accidental death--and then finds herself reliving her last day, February 12 (aka "Cupid Day" at her school), again an...
First thing I liked about this book: the main character is not perfect. She is actually part of the “mean girls”. Sam, Lindsay, Ally and Elody really reminded me of Cady and her friends in Mean Girls, something I really enjoyed (I’ve always been a huge fan of this movie; every time I see my friend f...
This story is pretty eye-rolling at times. She's the very cliche mean girl. I was thinking it wasn't going to be my thing at first because I'm not into that, but after the whole groundhog day effect came into play, things got more interesting. She keeps making changes each day. She tries to corr...
I should have really disliked this book, because (1) it’s YA, which usually wallows in feelings I left behind decades ago, and (2) it’s mostly written in first-person-present-tense, which I usually hate with the heat of a thousand fiery suns. I was convinced to give it a try by two excellent reviews...
Goodreads Synopsis: 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 still...
Before I Fall is much better than Vanishing Girls. I was so disappointed in Vanishing Girls that I wasn’t sure if I wanted to read this one, but Lauren Oliver’s stories sound so intriguing that I had to give this one a try. I’m so glad that I did. Sarah Drew did a fantastic job narrating the novel a...
I'm not quite sure why I am on such a contemporary YA kick lately (except that all of my holds from the library came in simultaneously--that probably explains both my reading choices and my lack of writing, actually), but I enjoyed this. When it finally came in, I couldn't remember a blasted thing...
No-recomendado por Kari RamírezMe propongo leer de principio a fin libros considerados "malos". Mi intención es encontrar al menos UNA cualidad buena en ellos y reseñarlos objetivamente siguiendo 20 puntos a desarrollar brevemente. (Los puntos varían según el género del que se trate.)Si tienen ganas...
This book has been sitting on my shelf for a long-time that’s why I’ve decided to include it on my list for the 2015 TBR Pile Challenge. Samantha Kingston has it all. The looks, friends, popularity and the perfect boyfriend. Friday night, Sam and her friends went into a house party. It should be h...
Lauren Oliver's first book, Before I Fall, should be required reading in high school. It's a great book exploring a popular girl's life and death. But, Oliver's story is more than just a diary following Samantha Kingston's day. In my opinion, it's a look at purgatory and how a person can get out."Sa...
