Before I Die by Jenny Downham
1.0

The characters in this story were incredibly shallow and one dimensional & the plot was unbearably predictable. I could describe 90% of the characters as nothing less than painfully obnoxious with no other side to them. The main character was the worst of them all, destroying practically everything in her path and leaving nothing behind of any value, quality or interest to the reader. Frankly, the way that she used up the end of her life was just plain stupid and it was physically painful to have read such a blatant disregard for life. If I could unread it, I would. The love interest was forced and bland, as if the only reason it was there was to have something else to write about because literally close to nothing happens in this book.
