Before I Die

This one snuck up on me. I thought that I was reading just a sweet inspirational tale about a dying girl, and the next thing I know I'm sobbing in a Chinese restaurant on 8th Avenue.
The review that inspired me to pick this one up, said that the only thing wrong with this book was that the publisher decided to market it as "young-adult", so it may never get the readership it deserves.
It was reminiscent of Nicholas Sparks', A Walk to Remember, but with much more of an edge. The girl in this novel is making a list of things that she wants to do before she dies, and they are things like sex, drugs, shoplifting...
I highly recommend this one. It will surprise you in the end.

Michael, If I didn't like A Walk To Remember would I like this book?
