Like Adam Silvera’s They Both Die at the End and Colleen Hoover’s It Ends with Us, Before I Fall raises thought-provoking questions about love, death, and how one person’s life can affect so many others.

And it is…until she dies in a terrible accident that night.However, she still wakes up the next morning. In fact, Sam lives 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 ever imagined.Before I Fall is now a major motion picture Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, and Kian Lawley. Named to numerous state reading lists, the novel was also recognized as a Best Book of the Year by Amazon, Barnes &amp; Noble, The Daily Beast, NPR, and Publishers Weekly.
