I know the year isn't over yet, and I haven't yet got my grubby little hands on Mockingjay, but Before I Fall is the best book I've read this year.

From Amazon:

In this Groundhog Day meets Mean Girls teen hybrid, Sam Kingston is pretty, popular, and has a seemingly perfect boyfriend. But after a late-night party everything goes terribly wrong, and the life that she lived is gone forever. Or is it?

At the start of Before I Fall, Sam is self-consumed and oblivious about the impact of her actions on others. But as she repeatedly experiences slightly altered versions of the hours leading up to her death?and her relationships with friends, family, and formerly overlooked classmates bloom, end, or shift?it?s impossible not to feel for the girl whose life ends too soon.

Alot of YA book blog reviewers have said that Samantha was too self-centered, so mean and unlikeable that they had trouble reading her story. Really? I didn't think she was that bad. WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME?
