Welcome, and thanks for hopping by.
I’m featuring one of my favourite books of all time – one I just couldn’t put down, that gave me the feels, that made me want to write, that made me want to live: Jenny Downham’s Before I Die.
From the back cover:
Tessa is sixteen.
Tessa is dying.
But before that moment comes, she has an awful lot of living to do . . .
So she’s made a list of everything she wants to do before she dies. Number one is sex. Starting tonight.
Heartbreaking, devastating, yet sparkling with life, this internationally bestselling novel celebrates what it is to be alive by confronting what it’s really like to die.
A reviewer for the New York Times hit the nail on the head: ‘I don’t care how old you are. This book will not leave you.’ (Especially if you watch the movie based on the book, Now Is Good.)
To win a paperback copy of Before I Die, simply comment on this blog post telling me which book has never left you.
