Cover
To be honest, this cover doesn't do much for me. I mean, I love the photo but it doesn't scream "pick me pick me" like a lot of other book covers do. I'm a cover addict so I want an eye popping image that makes me want to read a book regardless of what the synopsis says. I don't really see how this fits the content. But still, it's a pretty image.
Characters
The characters in this book stick with you long after you're done reading. It took a while for me to get into Sam because she's your typical "I'm the ish" popular girl that runs around thinking her you know what doesn't stink. But as the story progresses I could see the transformation occurring. She is definitely one that will grow on you despite her rough beginning. She's probably my favorite character, ever. And Kent... what a breath of fresh air he was. Ugh, there couldn't be a more perfect guy for me. I mean... Sam.
Story
I am not a contemporary girl. Give me paranormal and horror any day. This was my very first contemporary read and I must say that if the rest of them are as good as this, consider me a fan. This book surprised me on so many levels. I only bought this book because it was such a great price and I was going to trade it for something more my taste. Then I accepted a challenge in which Before I Fall fit, and now I'm hooked.
This book makes you rethink your life. I have never had a book hit me on such an emotional level. Seriously, I almost don't know what to say because I loved it that much. I have read some pretty amazing books this year, but this one is by far my favorite. It hit me from out of left field and I'm still trying to get back up. I want to read it again right now. I could not recommend another book more than this one. I'd give it ten stars if I could.
Quote(s)
That's the way I feel, at least: like there's a real me and a reflection of me, and I have no way of telling which is which.
- I feel like this, a lot.
Music, I think, he makes me feel like music.
- I absolutely ADORE this line.
