This is the first book of Oliver's that I've read, and I want to read more of her! Great summer beach book.

I've read it before, but I liked it better this time. Even though it's still unsatisfying, it's still so much better than Delirium and makes me hope that Lauren Oliver will write more contemporary things.

Stayed up til 3:30 AM to finish it. Fucked me up a little. I was reading it at the gym and had to stop because I started crying. I had a lot of feelings about this book.

That's the way I feel, at least: like there's a real me and a reflection of me, and I have no way of telling which is which.

Excellent book, but the ending felt unearned.

Though not without its weak points, BIF was filled with bits of life's joy. I found a lot of the dialogue trite in the beginning, but the book fleshed itself out as the story progressed. A YA vibe permeated the entirety of the book but not it's detriment.

Connecticut – Part of my United States of YA project to read (at least) one YA per state.

I just finished and I can't even think of what to write in the review. I will say I almost wept at several points in the last 30% of the book, which is not something that a book can often move me to do.

Loved this book. Love how complex the characters are, even the ones who seem like they're going to be one-dimensional.

I dare anyone to put this book down.
I couldn't.
My own deadline was on hold for a day while I devoured this poignant story from cover to cover.

“What if you only had one day to live...“
For teenager Sam Kingston, she finds out.

Had a lump in my throat several times.
Great read.
