Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver Review

Before I Fall
Lauren Oliver
470 pages

February 12th should just be like any other day for Sam Kingston. But instead, that is the days that she dies. She must then re-live that day 7 times in attempt to unravel the mystery behind her death and save herself, as well as discover the value behind what she could potentially lose.

I really liked this book! It was well written and clear, despite the fact that there were so many ideas swirling around. I don't think I can choose just one favourite part and I don't want to be a spoiler either. I could clearly feel Sam's emotions and I admittedly got a little emotional! I honestly think this was one of the best books I have ever read. It was so sad and the ending was beautifully tragic.

If I were to change one thing about the book, I would change the fact that a couple of the days were almost the same except a few small details. In times it felt a bit repetitive, but I still enjoyed the concept behind the book.

I would rate this book a 4.5/5 stars. A few more details would have made this book a lot better, and I probably would have given it a 5.
