"Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver
The book "Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver is the kind of book where you never know what's coming next. It's not suspenseful in any way, but it is surprising. The plot is basically the most popular girl in the school dies in a drunk driving accident, and ends up getting seven more chances to relive her last day right. Throughout the course of the book, the main character, Samantha, learns the value in the small things and begins to appreciate certain people more she had in the past. The ending of this book was pretty good, and the book defiantly has some little life lessons in it-the book has much more emotion than it seems. The ending was also interesting because the narrator was talking about appreciating life and what its like to live your last day, and last line was, "the rest you have to find out for yourself." In my opinion, this made me think about what happened in the book a little more carefully and it made the book seem more interesting to me. It was like a prompt to try and get the reader to appreciate life more and notice the small things. This book kind of forced me, in a way, to think about that. Overall, this book was interesting, and you can never tell what's going to happen next.
