Before I Die by Jenny Downham
5.0
A beautiful and bitter sweet story about life and death
Jenny does an absolutely incredible job of description especially of life and death. I could feel everything the character did from the horrible to the joyous.
The main character Tessa is 16 and dying of cancer she makes a list of things she wants to do before she dies with everything from breaking the law to being famous to falling in love. Her best friend and sidekick Zoey her family and her boyfriend all help her complete the list before she dies.
The prose and descriptions in this book were great.
I love the development of the relationships of everyone with her.
