Review by Denver Patron |
| Before I Die was an amazing and meaningful story. The main character was really real and down to earth, so I could relate to her easily. This book got me thinking a little bit harder about my own life. This story is about a girl, Tessa, who has lukemia. She creates a list of things she wants to do before she dies, and sets out to do them. As Tessa gets closer and closer to her final days, she begins to realize what really matters to her.
