If you are going to read this novel then don’t plan on getting any sleep, you will NOT be able to put it down. So I had a little leaf through…I didn’t put it down until the next day. It didn’t really tie-in with what we were already reviewing on Novelicious, plus I had never really read any YA up until that point. The book was sent to me for review and, to be honest, I wasn’t that interested. This is what happened between me and Lauren Oliver’s debut novel – Before I Fall. And then you think about how long an amount of time it would be appropriate to wait before you read it again. You finish the last page and sit staring into space for a few minutes thinking, ‘ Wow’. As astonishing as The Lovely Bones and as luminous as Jenny Downham s Before I Die, it will make you want to live every day as if it were your last.Įvery once in a while you read a book that takes your breath away. And who falls in love… a little too late.īEFORE I FALL is a brave and complex novel about the territory between life and death. This is a story of a girl who dies young, but in the process learns how to live. But then the impossible happens: she wakes up in her own bed, on the morning of the day that she died.įorced to live over and over the last day of her life the drive to school, skipping class, the fateful party she desperately struggles to alter the outcome, but every morning she wakes up on the day of the crash.

On a rainy February night, eighteen-year-old Sam is killed in a horrific car crash. They say that when you die your whole life flashes before your eyes, but that's not how it happened for me To kick off our regular YA Wednesday, we are dedicating the whole of today to Lauren Oliver and her fantastic debut book – Before I Fall !
