![]() ![]() It raises questions and doesn’t have committed solutions. One of the reasons why Before I Fall is so effective is that it doesn’t tell you how to feel. ![]() ![]() An overwhelming sense of having the world unfurling in front of you but not knowing how to feel or what to do. I’d recommend it to anyone in its recommended age group - a young adult audience - but it’s a book containing the freedom and situations that I’ve experienced more in college. Textured, sensory scenes that draw you in and evoke specific atmospheres characters that are flawed and nuanced and endearing a sense of urgency in coming-of-age wisps of poignant commentary. It’s perfectly proportioned, a mix of giddiness and heaviness. It’s timeless because of its questions of morality, meaning, the balance between the nuances of daily life and the bigger picture. It’s not so much that it gets better with age so much as that you can read it in different layers. I’ve read this book a dozen times over the past ten years - it was released in 2010. ![]()
