Tessa is a really funny character who knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to go after it. It feels odd to say that I like this book instead, I feel like it is more accurate to say that I like Tessa. Adam becomes instrumental in helping her cross off the items on her list, but he also helps her realize what’s really important, and it’s things that Tessa doesn’t think are important when she creates the list. While Tessa is determined to finish her list, she is also falling in love with Adam from next door. She sets out to complete this list with the help of her friend Zoey and her parents. Other items are really sweet, such as getting her parents back together and falling in love. Some things are reckless like breaking the law and taking drugs. ![]() The list is everything she wants to do before she dies. Tessa has had leukemia for four years and when she finds that she only has a few months to live she decides to make a list on her wall. ![]() That also seems like an unfair comparison. ![]() Before I Dieby Jenny Downham may as well have had a giant red sticker visible only to me that said: “Don’t Read Me, You’ll Cry for Hours.” Despite the ominous title, I picked it up and read it in three sittings.īefore I Diecan be easily summarized as a teenage version of The Bucket List. Some genres I avoid like the plague, and anything avoiding dying children is one of them. ![]()
