Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
4.0

a pretty decent read, i read it quick too. it was basically the same concept as the movie 'groundhog day' but not funny. it was serious. this girl dying and her having 7 days to make it all right. this book although it has a story it is the same story told differently in each chapter. things change, times change. it's a good read to see what Sam ( the main character) would do next. i also felt like i was in the middle of a 'mean girls' moment, and at times i was. although my high school years are over ( thank God) i could still partially sense what Same was going through, althogh i was more in Juliet's prespective, in being in the unpopular crowd. i suggest if you liked the movie groundhog day. (like me....Bill Murray is awesome!!) but want a dramatic twist then read this, if you dont want to reread the same thing over told a different way than skip it. i say even though this is cassified as a 'teen' novel anyone can read it. i still read 'teen' novels and im not a teen anymore.
