Alright bloggers, so there's been a change in plans. I had mentioned in my last blog that I was going to blog about Blonde; a book about Marilyn Monroe. But after struggling through the book (it's over 700 pages with very tiny text) I've realized that I won't be able to finish it before my deadline. So, I'm going to blog about a book called Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver. Here's what I've read so far...
Samantha Kingston is one of those popular girls that gets away with everything - and she knows it and loves it. She has her three best friends - Elody, Ally, and Lindsay, and her perfect boyfriend - Rob - that all the girls at Thomas Jefferson High admire. In the prologue, Sam talks about what happened right before she dies and about how she didn't see her whole life flash before her eyes, but just a memory from back in grade school about a girl they used to make fun of. Then it goes back to that day. It was a friday (Feb. 12th), and Valentine's Day was almost there so there were "valograms" being passed out to everyone. She goes through her entire day and explains all her popularity rules and privileges that come along with it. This day ends up with her at a party and after the party, her friends are driving home and then they get into an accident. Breaking glass, screeching metal, and then the next thing she knows... her alarm is going off and she's in her bed. As she turns her alarm off and checks her phone, she notices the date - Fri, Feb 12th. Sam is so completely lost and no one seems to think it's odd that they were just in an accident last night and now it's the same day again? As she tries to figure it out, she relives that same day in the exact way she had the day before - sort of. I wonder if she changes anything if she'll still die in that accident? And if she'll repeat this day forever or not?!
Keep following to hear more! :)
