Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver


As you know, I've finished reading three books out of Bloodlines series by Richelle Mead. I have been eagerly waiting for the upcoming book, The Fiery Heart. Because of the roller coaster emotions I've been experiencing, I decided to read Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver.

Goodreads Synopsis :

What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?

Samantha Kingston has it all: looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last.

The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. Living the last day of her life seven times during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.


Here's what I think :

I can say that I had doubts about this book because I don't really like the Delirium trilogy. But, I'm glad to announce that I was wrong. Although I don't absolutely love it, but it's quite moving. It's such a pleasure to see that Lauren has addressed many important issues that surround adolescents, like : bullying, peer pressure, taking life for granted, etc. It's great to see the character progressed and realized her own mistakes and eventually justifying it by sacrificing herself. I think a lot of people could really identify with the character.

Just like the Delirium trilogy, the thing that I hate about this book is THE ENDING. It's puzzling, to be honest. When I finished reading it, I was like :  'Huh??'. But, all in all it was okay.
