Before I Fall Enhanced by Lauren Oliver
5.0
I've read this book three times now and it just dawned on me that I'd never written a review before. I don't know why because this is one of my favourite books of all time.
The first time I read this I had just got a kindle and bought it on there. I went straight into it knowing nothing (I hadn't even read the blurb!) I'm not gong to lie I didn't enjoy it as much as the second, but the second time round I bought the book so maybe that's why. Also, the second time round I got more of an understanding about the book in general and the feelings and thoughts I experienced the first time round heightened.
Anyway onto why I love this book so much.
Okay, to start with, it is so relatable on so many levels, secondly, do not let this book fool you - it is not how it seems at all. Give it a chance! At first I hated Sam, she was just some annoying popular school girl that had everything. We all go/went to school with girls like her right? I hated her probably because she's everything I'm not, but then she started to relive the same day over and over and I realised I had far more in common with Sam than I initially thought. The way she realises she was so mean and tries to change that the next day, I just ended up loving the character I initially thought was a bitch. As her relationship with Kent grew and she started and she started to fall in love, it made the story seem sadder because it wasn't inevitable.
I'm no good at writing reviews so I don't know why I am attempting one for this book as I love it so much, so I guess what I'm trying to get at is, this is nothing as it seems - give it a chance and maybe you will love it as much as me!
Lauren Oliver thank you for this beautiful book which will definitely stay with me for the rest of my life and I will certainly continue to re-read it.
