A bestselling summer read as heartbreaking as The Lovely Bones and as gripping as Jenny Downham''s Before I Die.

**Now a major Netflix movie starring Zoey Deutch, Halston Sage, Logan Miller, Kian Lawley*

''A clever, funny, insightful and utterly addictive novel'' Daily Mail

''Compelling and poignant, a truly memorable read'' Closer

They say ''live every day as if it''s your last'' - but you never actually think it''s going to be. At least I didn''t.
The thing is, you don''t get to know when it happens. You don''t remember to tell your family that you love them or - in my case - remember to say goodbye to them at all.

But what if, like me, you could live your last day over and over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes, would you have no regrets? Or are there some things you''d want to change...?

''This book will take your breath away'' She

''A beautifully written and outrageously weepy tale'' Daily Mirror

Industry Reviews

In her debut novel, Lauren Oliver channels all the awkwardness and wonder of teenage consciousness within a poignant framework...as someone said of Nick Hornby, it takes a mature writer to describe immaturity, Lauren Oliver proves this to be true in her thought provoking memorable debut. - Herald Sun

the tone is balanced by the suspense and knowing asides about how schoolgirls really think and operate -the author herself is only 25. In learning the consequences of every action, the dawning of compassion and capacity to love, Oliver gets to the heart of the matter-what it means to live a good life that transcends the typical high-school thriller. - Sunday Times Perth

It s a powerful story with a great message. - Girlfriend

an incredible debut...This exquisitely written novel renders perfectly the world of today's teenager... this inspiring tale refrains from simple moralising, instead surprising us with a superbly complex and humane ending. - Hobart Mercury

Forget reality and enjoy this achingly heartbreaking debut...an excellent read. - NW

Drawing comparisons with the bestselling The Lovely Bones, this is the story of 18-year-old Sam Kingston, who is killed in a car crash one rainy night... Oliver packs a powerful message in her teenage voice.' - The Sunday Telegraph

Poignant . . . This tale of second chances will have you clinging on to your Kleenex - Now

'BEFORE I FALL is beautifully written; brave, sincere and very addictive. It captures the essence of high-school brilliantly, and will have you laughing, crying and philosophising. I wholeheartedly recommend BEFORE I FALL. The best book I ve read in the last year.' - www.novelicious.com
