review: books... "before i die" by jenny downham

rating: 4 out of 5

rant: beautiful novel.

synop: Tessa, 15, is a girl diagnosed with cancer, and she is determined to do 10 things before she dies.

which includes having sex, doing drugs, & shoplifting.

but she unexpectedly falls in love with her next-door neighbor Adam, who has to choose between his mother and Tessa. Adam is all his mother has, but is he all Tessa has? will he make the right choice?

review: it's about experimentation, love, and living life for what it's worth: the tiny moments.

bottom line: read it.
