Before I Fall

I finished reading Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver in two days. I could have easily finished it in one, had I not been so tired yesterday. That's how great it was. Even better than Delirium.



Before I Fall is about a popular high school girl, Sam, who relives the last night of her life seven times, until she finally gets it right.
My first thought was, this is so Mean Girls it's disgusting. And I found myself not being able to relate to it because my high school was nothing like the one in this book. You see all these movies, TV shows and you read these books...The students are always so evil to each other. And my school wasn't like that. There were individuals who had problems with each other, but it wasn't just an entire group of people determined to make someone miserable.
The Mean Girls vibe dies down eventually. Which is nice, because that's when the story starts getting better.
(My second thought, in case you're wondering, was, MAC is mentioned so many times, you'd think they sponsored this book.)
Nothing I say can do Before I Fall justice. So I won't even try. You should probably just read it.
