Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
A terrible accident takes Samantha Kingston's life. The catch: Samantha still wakes up the next morning. In fact, she relives the last day of her life seven times, until she realizes that by making even the slightest changes, she may hold more power than she had ever imagined.

It seems like there is a supernatural element to this book, would you still say that it is primarily realistic fiction? Is it more like a dream that Samantha is having or is she actually having a supernatural experience?
ReplyDeleteI love how this book is about a lot of people's wish to go back in time and relive a moment they wish to change or just relive for the joy of it. Like in many movies, however, there seems to be a twist in this book that makes this popular wish not as great as people think.
ReplyDeleteI love the summary you give on this book. It is short and enticing. It draws my attention to this book to add to my future book list. The idea behind the book is one that seems to draw readers in with its supernatural elements.
