It was an inspirational book to read and it showed how the girl with cancer coped with life, friendships and the boy next door. It was a great book to read and I would recommended to other readers. Well Done Jenny!!

Before I Die is a touching book based on a girl called Tessa who only has a few more months to live, so she makes a list of 10 things she wants to do. As she gets weaker she starts to understand the importance of love, family and friendship and knows she is highly lucky. This book is the best I've ever read and I couldnt put it down I cried, laughed and enjoyed my way through the book. This is perfect for everyone and I know those who read it will love it.

This book is really cleverly written and really gets you thinking about life and how much time you waste doing nothing. Tessa is quite a strong charachter and it is how she wants to really live the rest of her life, or what she has left of it. I recomend it to anyone who enjoys interesting and emotional reads.
