Book Review of Before I Die

Before I Die
annerszz101 avatar reviewed on + 31 more book reviews


Once I got to about chapter 36, I started crying.

Tessa is a strong girl, she really is. She has leukemia, but she doesn't let that get to her. Most teenagers with cancer, or anyone with cancer, tend to be strong or tend to be really emotional. Tessa... she makes a list of things she wants to do before she dies. She writes things on her wall.

The book begins with her writing on her wall that before she dies she wants to have sex with a boy.

She has a best friend named Zoey, who is a party girl pretty much.
Later on, Tessa meets Adam from next door, & they fall in love.

I LOVED this book. It made me cry & it made me laugh, and in the end it made me realize that people with cancer really do have to be strong.. not only for themselves but for the people that care about them the most
