Revue de presse 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. (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)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.

An honest, heartwarming and impeccable read with believable characters and a very special storyline, Before I fall is a fantastic debut novel, and one I could not put down.
