Review: Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

I don’t own this book yet so here’s a picture of the book cover from Google. This book is well written and I actually liked it. I won’t say the main idea caught me by any surprise because well lets face it I have seen movies and read other books about this idea of someone dying and reliving the day of their death over and over again. But if it were my first time being introduced to this idea then trust me I would have been like OMG. Even if the idea didn’t caught me off guard the way this book ended was kind of a surprise.

This book is about a girl named Samantha, who is one of the popular girls in her high school. While coming back from a party, Samantha and her friends get into an accident and Samantha dies but instead of being just dead, she wakes up and relives the same day over again. Which personally I think would freak me out a lot, if I died and instead of moving on or whatever I am back in my bed waking up to relive the day I am going to die.

In the book, Sam said one thing that kind of pissed me off about one of the unpopular kids at her school but well I guess that’s how popular high school kids are. The reason it kind of annoyed me was because Samantha should know better. Rest I didn’t mind Samantha that much because well she did grew as a character a lot so that was nice. But overall, I would say this book was well written but it did not really blew me away, again because I already watched a movie that recently came out Happy Death Day. If you have watched that movie and read this book you would know what I am trying to say. But if you still haven’t watched that movie then instead read this book first and you will enjoy it more. I think the movie for this book is also out I haven’t seen it yet so I don’t know if it’s good.

I almost forgot but seriously I don’t understand how people can just ruin other people’s life so easily just to safe themselves. People who bully and people who let other people bully are no different. If you can’t take actions right away then at least do something, tell someone. One more thing that I want to mention is that I get it in friendship you got your friend’s back but being blind in friendship and letting your friend ruin someone else’s life is not a good thing. And sometimes it’s okay to just ask why instead of blindly following someone. If you read this book you will know what I mean.
