Almost Could Have Been Great
I apologize now if my review is not up to par. I read this back in 2011 for my personal English credit for school and have not gave a thought to it until now.

Before I Fall is one of those books you REALLY want to love because it was not terrible and yet somehow disappointed you all the same. There was effort put into the writing where little secrets will peppered throughout the story hinting as to what needed to be done and the key to everything. Sam is able to grow as a person within the days she done over. She does thing she shouldn't and should until she finally comes to terms with what has to be done.


Not to give too much away as I want to, but this could have been solved way sooner. Sam could've put together Juliet was the answer if she had stopped focusing on herself. To be fair, it would be hard to change one's behaviors. Personally I feel like this could have ended 100 pages sooner with what we have. It felt like by the time I got to the end I couldn't feel what I was suppose to because I pushed myself to get to the end.


So, it wasn't an awful read. It wasn't that great. I know Before I Fall won't be something I will read again. I'll probably watch the movie if I get the chance. Really I suggest to read this if you're not sure what to read next.
