Yet ANOTHER update on Before I Fall...

Before you say “wow, she must never read...” well, that is partially true, but only because I am a busy person, with softball, football practices (not mine, my little brother) and homework, I never really get time to pleasure read. And on top of all of the practices and extracurricular, I have to be social. Ya know?    Anyway, there are a lot of surprises in this one.

Sam is starting to get the point of re-living this day over and over again: to fix what she did wrong, to fix all of the things she ever screwed up. Each chapter starts out the same: the alarm. Then it goes on to the rest of Sam’s day, leading up to her death.

  Do you remember me talking about Juliet Skyes? No? Oh, yeah, that’s because I NEVER thought she would be this important of a character.  Juliet is a girl in Sam's grade that in my last post, the quote I had, it was describing her, her pale skin, and white hair, reminds you maybe of a snowflake. Ring a bell?  Juliet is Sam's number one key to helping her survive. If you read this book, you need to pay more attention to her at the beginning; also, you have to pay more attention to Kent.

Kent is also a big help in the story, but he wouldn’t need to be there if it wasn’t for Juliet.  He hosts the party at his house, and I don’t think many people take mind to him when they start reading. They think of him as a by-stander maybe. But he is definitely a dynamic character. He and Sam might even share a kiss... ooooh.  

“’Kent? I said okay. I mean, I’d like to stay. If you don’t mind.’… ‘You’re tired,’ he says, and his voice is soft again. ’it’s been a long day,’ I say. ‘come on.’ He reaches out his hand and without thinking I take it. Its warm and dry, and as he leads me deeper into the house, away from the music, I close my eyes and remember how he used to slip his hand into mine and whisper, Don’t listen to them. Just keep walking. Keep your head up. It almost feels like no time has passed. It doesn’t feel crazy that im holding hands with Kent McFuller and I’m letting him lead me somewhere- it feels normal’”

I want to tell you guys so much, but at the same time I really can’t give anything away, that’s part of the reason I share so little textual evidence. I’m afraid it might give things away.

Still loving this book, and still loving reading; nothing new really. The point of this post is to never brush off the small seemingly unimportant characters, because you never know who will show up later on in the story. I think I actually learned a lesson this time! 

Thanks for checking out my blog, Happy Reading!!!!
