Samantha Kingston has it all: the world’s most crush-worthy boyfriend, three amazing best friends, and first pick of everything at Thomas Jefferson High—from the best table in the parking lot to the choicest parking spot. Friday, February 12, should be just another day in her charmed life.

Instead, it turns out to be her last.

Then she gets a chance. Seven chances, in fact. Reliving her last day during one miraculous week, she will untangle the mystery surrounding her death—and discover the true value of everything she is in danger of losing.

    Oops! I send it as a message, sorry. *blush* Anyway …

    This sounds like such a great book! And the cover is awesome! It’s so pretty. The colors and contrast just reels people in. :) Good luck on the release and on future books, Ms. Oliver.

    I can’t wait for it to be published and I am totally going to follow you on Twitter.

    im telling you, before i fall was epic. there’s never been a time when i stayed up past 2 to finish reading a book and was yelled at for it, until i read this book– that’s how good before i fall is.
