Before I fall by Lauren Oliver -- a review

I read this book about 2 months ago. You know why this is reviewed.

BUT BEFORE I BEGIN!



This song is awesome and I love it. The only reason that the song is good is because it's with Ed Sheeran in it.

So here we go!

What if you only had one day to live? What would you do? Who would you kiss? And how far would you go to save your own life?

Samantha Kingston has it all: looks, popularity, the perfect boyfriend. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life. Instead, it turns out to be her last.

The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. Living the last day of her life seven times during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.

Thoughts: This book was GOOD. It wasn't FANTASTIC. It was just GOOD! I did enjoy it. It was a really light read. I enjoyed the plot and it was a good idea. It also makes a good movie idea. The thing that quite annoyed me was that I found it a bit repetitive and the Kent thing was a bit too insta-loveish. It wasn't really instalove but after a few "days" it was all too much. Like there wasn't a good lead to her falling in love. I know this is a debut novel, but I was expecting a bit more. Still liked this more than Delirium.
My favourite character must've been Kent because he seemed so so nice and humble and just simply adorable! Sam's boyfriend seemed like an asshole and I didn't like him at all. Sam was a bit too stupid for me in the first few "days" and I didn't like her character, probably because she was so girly and because of her entourage and because I wasn't really relating to her that much. She also could've used her brains more. She didn't seem that dumb. I just remembered a new character! Her math teacher is an ASS HOLE! Even if he seemed really nice and hot and stuff. How could he do that to her? And how could SHE let that happen?!
Anyway, I like the writing style a lot. It was really good and it did show that Lauren Oliver is an incredible writer.

These were my thoughts on these books. I will soon write a review for The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, and also a book to series review for A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Delirium will probably come before A Study in Scarlet because I wanna save the best for last.

With all these said, I have to go.

Goodbye,
