I am a total Lauren Oliver fan. I read Delirium first. Fell in love with that book and read the review for Before I Fall. I thought it sounded interesting so I decided to give it a go. We luckily have Overdrive through our district so I was able to check it out on my ipad. So glad I did. Another homerun for Oliver (of course, technically, it was the first one). The main character, whose name escapes me at the moment, is a popular, sort of mean girl. We watch through her eyes how she has sort of followed the pack and not brought in her own voice to different teen situations. Then she is in a car accident in which she does, but instead of going to the otherworld, she ends up living the same day over and over again....the question is why and can she come back to life? What she learns each time changes her forever.
I loved this book. I did. The main character was not sympathetic but by the conclusion of the book, you are so rooting for her! The ending is not all what the reader expects which is a great surprise. This is definitely a high school kind of book because there is language, mentions of sex, and drugs and alcohol.
Library Chick Rating - Omelet! I loved it!
