Before I Fall #4

Samantha does many different things in her next few days of reliving cupid day. But there's two things that she does know she doesn't love her boyfriend and doesn't understand why her friends are so mean to everyone. The more and more she spends around Kent the more she starts to see how cute he really is. The boy that shes made fun of all through highschool, she is falling for. She decides that its her job to save Juliet. She sends her roses and a nice note hoping that it would show Juliet that someone cares for her, but it doesn't work. She tries talking to Juliet but she just pushes her away. On one of the dark cold Cupid nights Samantha finds of that her bestfriend didn't crash the car because she was drunk. It was actually Juliet who jumped infront of the girls car intending to kill herself. Samantha is trying everything she can to save Juliet, to finally make it right. She is trying to show her friends how cruel and mean they have been but they don't care. While all this is going on she is falling more and more in love with Kent, knowing that she will never be able to be with him. In the end Samantha does save Juliet from her death but in order to save her she has to take her own life. Samantha fixed her mistakes but she didn't get a second chance at life.

Before I Fall #3

When Samantha wakes up on the first day shes very confused, shouldn't she be dead? Until she realizes that its once again, Cupid Day. She thinks maybe it was all some big dream, and she relives the first day telling herself it's nothing but severe Deja Vu. Until the car crash happens for the second time and Samantha dies again. She awakens on the second morning scared to even look at the date, and once again it's Cupid Day. Samantha is scared more than ever and doesn't understand whats going on. But she decides that she can't die if she doesn't go to the party, right? So spends the night at Lindsays house only to be awaken in the middle of the night with news that Juliet had killed herself. Was it her fault? Her friends did nothing but make fun of her, maybe they went too far? Samantha goes back to sleep and wakes up the next day...Cupid Day again. Will Samantha ever wake up from this nightmare? Will she wake up and be alive one day?

Before I Fall #2

Samantha goes to a party that same night of cupid day, not knowing that it was the last party she would ever go to. The whole night is a diaster and nothing goes right. Samantha's boyfriend was drunk before she even got to the party and puking not to long after. The party was at Kent's house which was her childhood friend that she doesn't associate with any longer because he is not part of the popular clue. Not only is Samantha insulted by Kent which cuts a little deeper than she thought it would, shes insulted by the school loser Juliet. Finally Samantha and her friends leave the party with her bestfriend of all, Lindsay driving hom drunk. The girls are all fighting over which music to play in the car and not really paying attention. Until all of a sudden Lindsay yells and the car crashes into a tree. Thats when Samantha feels it, the pain full of heat and sound. Samantha died this night in the car with her four bestfriends. But she will have seven days to live it all over again and fix her mistakes.

Before I Fall #1

I choose to read the book Before I Fall, by Lauren Oliver. The book starts out on the morning of Cupid Day, which is the day that Samantha Kingston's school celebrates valentines day. The whole point of the day is to see how many roses each person gets from their friends and secret admirers. Samantha has everything she could ever ask for her three bestfriends, her perfect boyfriend, and of course she is one of the most popular girls in Thomas Jefferson High. Cupid Day starts off perfectly with her friends stealing the last parking spot in the student lot, and also a rose from her boyfriend. Not to mention the perfect prank they played on Juliet, the loser girl that they all hate. It was a day that seemed just like any other, right? Wrong. This day changed Samantha's life forever but she has chances to fix her mistakes.
