Initial thoughts: Can't say I cared much for Before I Fall. Picked it up because one of the Popsugar Reading Challenge prompts is to read a book that's been adapted into a movie this year. I think it's safe to say I won't be watching the movie. The overall framework was interesting enough, what with the main character dying and reliving the same day several times over. That gave her several chances to change her actions. Could've been a touching read but not a single character moved me. Most were unlikeable brats.
