A bestselling summer read as heartbreaking as The Lovely Bones and as gripping as Jenny Downham’s Before I Die.
**From the bestselling author of Panic, soon to be a major Amazon Prime TV series**
‘Gossip Girl meets Groundhog Day’ Grazia
‘Tender, funny and raw’ Marie Claire
‘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…?

Heartbreakingly good . . . Up there with Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones, it'll make you want to hold close the ones you love and never let them go. Impossible to forget.
A thought-provoking and compelling story that is brave and insightful for a new author
This book will take your breath away
A beautifully written and outrageously weepy tale.
Moving and thought-provoking
Tender, funny and raw
A pitch-perfect Groundhog Day/Lovely Bones hybrid
Gossip Girl meets Groundhog Day
Poignant . . . This tale of second chances will have you clinging on to your Kleenex
This is very special . . . It's full of 'what ifs' and raw emotion
Take the concept of Groundhog Day, add stunning prose and layers of emotional development, and the result is a book to fall in love with over and over again
Beautifully written
BEFORE I FALL is amazing, fantastic, a groundbreaking debut.
'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.'
A startling piece of writing that is utterly believable and beautifully told... If you only read one book this year, it should be this one.
Brilliantly written, gritty, deep and compassionate. I couldn't give it a higher recommendation!
Hugely moving and gorgeously written . . . an extremely clever and well-written novel that is ultimately uplifting.
A very sophisticated novel . . . Oliver handles her characters with an impressive lightness of touch and writes evocatively about youth . . . a clever, funny, insightful and utterly addictive novel
'Beautifully written, compelling and poignant, a truly memorable read' *****
A book to fall in love with
