Before I Fall: The official film tie-in that will take your breath away de Lauren Oliver

Before I Fall: The official film tie-in that will take your breath away

Autor Lauren Oliver
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 feb 2017

Descoperim aici o poveste care, deși ambalată într-un format de buzunar accesibil, poartă o greutate emoțională surprinzătoare pentru publicul tânăr. Notăm cu interes modul în care Lauren Oliver transformă o premisă fantastică — bucla temporală — într-o analiză profundă a caracterului uman. Samantha Kingston, o adolescentă aflată în vârful ierarhiei sociale, moare într-un accident pe 12 februarie, doar pentru a se trezi în dimineața aceleiași zile. Ne-a atras atenția structura narativă: Sam trăiește această ultimă zi de șapte ori, iar fiecare repetiție devine o lecție despre empatie și consecințele adesea invizibile ale gesturilor noastre cotidiene.

Stilul este evocator și plin de compasiune, reușind să surprindă autentic vocea tinereții. Ca și Before I Die de Jenny Downham, acest roman reușește să emoționeze profund fără a fi didactic, oferind o perspectivă onestă asupra regretului și a posibilității de răscumpărare. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări ale autoarei, cum este The Magnificent Monsters of Cedar Street, unde accentul cade pe aventură și fantezie istorică, Before I Fall rămâne ancorat în realitatea dură a liceului contemporan, explorând teme de identitate pe care le regăsim și în Replica. Ritmul este alert, susținut de nevoia presantă a protagonistei de a „repara” ceva ce pare de neoprit, oferind cititorilor o experiență de lectură intensă și reflexivă.

'Tender, funny and raw' Marie Claire

They say to live every day as if it's your last - but you never actually think it's going to be. You always think you'll have more time.

That's what I thought. But I was wrong.

The thing is, you don't get to know when it happens. You don't remember to tell your family that you love them or - in my case - remember to say goodbye to them at all.

What if, like me, you could live your last day over again? Could you make it perfect? If your whole life flashed before your eyes, would you have any regrets? Are there things you'd want to change?

'Clever, funny, insightful and utterly addictive' Daily Mail
