Before I Fall

[8th Grade]

I read this as an alternate project. The class was reading “To Kill A Mockingbird”, but my mom felt I was too young to read it so requested that the teacher give me an alternate assignment. The assignment was this book.

I finished it in the span of a few hours in a literal (hi welcome to) Chili's. This book was just so moving and emotional that it took a lot of will to not cry in the restaurant. This book taught me to value your family, friends, and every day you have as if it's your last.

The assignment was to write an essay on how the plot of the book changed me as a reader and how the characters decisions influenced me as a person. I never did the assignment.
