Before I Fall What if you only had one day to live . . . .. Nominated for the Deutscher Jugendliteraturpreis 2011, category Preis der Jugendlichen

Sam is an ordinary girl. Especially one of the famous girls on school. She and her friends are known by everyone. But they are not liked by everyone. Some girls are afraid of them especially Juliet Skyes who is bullied by Sam and her friends. It's Friday the 12th of February and for Sam and her girlfriends it's a special day. It's Cupidday. At this day everyone can send an anonym flower with a note so someone you like. And of course the popular girls get more than the not so popular. It's like a competition and the price is popularity. In the evening there's a big party at Kent McFullers house. He's not one of the popular guys at school but at this Friday, hes party is the place to be. Sam and her girls have a lot of fun at the party and drink a lot. Her friend Lindsey isn't allowed to drive with that much alkohol she has drunk. They have a bad car accident. Sam does not survive it. But she isn't dead either. She lives the day over and over again till she realizes why and what her desteny is. I liked the book very much. The story was very interesting and thrilling. I liked a lot how Sam changed from a bad, ignorant girl to a very likeable girl. But i think the book is a little bit to long. The mainstory is very good but when you have read the same story over and over again it gets a little bit boring. But except from that i really liked reading this book.
