Before I Fall / Lauren Oliver / 279 pages

Samantha Kingston is in a terrible car accident and the reader fears that she and her friends are seriously injured, perhaos even dead. Instead Sam relives the day over and over changing her actions and reactions to avoid the accident. She developes insights into the kind of person she has become and the impact she makes on others. This book is for mature audiences.

"Guys are like pets. Feed 'em,pet 'em,and put them to bed."
"If you cross a line and nothing happens, the line loses meaning."
"There's no continuity in people at all. Something ruptures when you hit 12,or 13, or whatever the age is when you're no longer a kid, but a "young adult," and after that you're a totally different person. Maybe even a less happy person. Maybe even a worse one"
