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...?

From the Publisher:

'Although I'm not the target reader I found myself engrossed and moved by this marvellous book' --Jamie Hodder-Williams

'This beautiful story had me gripped right from the first page – full of both tragic and touching 'what-if's', it takes you right back to the intense and often cruel teen-age experiences at high school. Heartbreaking in its honesty, it's a novel that really makes you think and it stayed with me long after I finished reading it' --Rebecca Cooney, International Sales & Marketing Manager

'I could feel the shivers down my spine from the first chapter, and I couldn’t put it down. A really powerful read' --Auriol Bishop, Creative Director

'A truly absorbing read. The writing is alive and powerful, and carried me along non-stop.' --Swati Gamble, Hodder Editorial

'I loved this engaging, compelling, heartbreaking novel, and can't see how any reader could fail to be won over by Sam as she relives her last day again and again and again.   I didn't want Before I Fall to end.' --Carolyn Mays, Director of Fiction
