Before I Fall Book

What if you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? Samantha Kingston wakes every morning, the day after a car accident claims her life and has the opportunity to live the day over and over.

Sam Kingston is one of the most popular girls at her high school; dating the hottest guy and friends with the funniest, prettiest group of girls. Her popularity has come at an expense. She no longer talks to her childhood best friend, doesn't have a great relationship with her family and most of the school are scared to talk to Sam and her friends. After her accident, she wakes up the next day as if nothing has happened with events occurring exactly as they did the day before. When she finds out that she is not the only person from her school to die that day, she makes a decision to right her previous wrongs and make sure that something good comes of her death.

I know what you're thinking. It sounds like Groundhog Day for teenagers. Maybe it is but the characters are easy to relate to, the story is moving and the relationships are believable, especially the love story which you can really get behind. The book was written with a teenage audience in mind but I'm 27 and could read this over and over! It appeals to the Twilight and The Hunger Games audience but the added draw is that it represents real life situations that teenagers face growing up. That's what makes this book a winner to me. It was something that Amazon recommended to me about a year ago based on some of the other books I had read and I've read it four times since! It's one of those books you never want to finish and for that reason I give it top marks. 5 out of 5 - a must read!

They say 'live every day as if it's your last' -- but you never actually think it's going to be. At least I didn't. The thing is you don't get to know when it happens. You don't remember to tell your family that you love them or -- in my case -- remember to say goodbye to them at all. But what if like me you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes would you have no regrets? Or are there some things you'd want to change...
