Tessa is 16 and dying of cancer. She knows that she has only months to live and she creates a list of things she wants to experience before she dies: having sex, trying drugs and falling in love being just three of them. This is not your…

FIRST IMPRESSION: The story has a very strong voice and even though all my friends said they cried when they read it, I wasn't going to. I knew what to expect. It was going to be okay. THE PLOT: We've all heard it before: dying person…

This book left me tingling. It was so deep and really made you think about death and it's affect on people. I've never read a book quite like this before and I would suggest it to anyone.

It started slow, and was very hard for me to get into at first. However, it did pick up and turned out to be a pretty good book. I've read a lot of comments where people are judging it based on her list. But you have to keep in mind that…

I loved this book! Itès about a young woman who finds out she has cancer and she makes a list of all the things she wants to do before she dies. The movie based on this book is called Now Is Good and will be starring Dakota Fanning!

This book was far from what I expected it to be about, i could tell just from the first few pages that i read....not what I expected at all, to be honest it was fairly disappointing...

This book disappointed me. I was expecting it to be very emotional and good, but it wasn't. I didn't like/relate to any of the characters, it was incredibly boring, and not a very original idea. My Sister's Keeper (the movie) was better if…

This book was a really sad book. It made me want to donate a lot of money to kids with illnesses. I also cried alot. Also I read at night so when i wake up I always get puffy eyes XD. Also the slang terms are funny.

This book is depressing! But very well written. I know that it would never be a happy ending while I was reading the book. But they did everything they can so that she can be happy in her remaining hours of life. I feel so sad for Adam,…

One of the saddest teen books I have ever come across. The characters are believable and real. The raw emotion is a real tear jerker.

Before I Die is a very touching story. The ending is well-written and the people in her life are well developed. The one real concern I have with the characters in this book is the main one. She is alright herself, but her bucket list is…

The emotional story about a girl with terminal cancer. Definitely a young adult book.

Well written. Can't really compare it to The Bucket List. Be sure to have the kleenex box handy towards the end
