This is a must read for high school age kids, parents with teenage children or people who (like me) really like intelligent YA fiction or the writing of Lauren Oliver. I can't give away too much without spoiling it, really. I really identified with one of the characters who is bullied a lot, and there's also a scene in the toilets with a "not cool" girl that makes a big impact. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? She has a "voice" for every character that is distinctly different or at least different enough that you don't get confused in moments with a lot of dialogue. Being an actress, she's really expressive and able to get the inner feelings of the characters out for you. Sarah Drew is flawless in any of the books she reads. What about Sarah Drew’s performance did you like? This is the story of is like watching Mean Girls through the eyes of one of the plastics- but with her growing as a person and realising that maybe the way she behaves isn't perfect. Most people would fall into one social category and identify with the protagonist by either being LIKE her or being around (or victimised by) someone like her. It's something anybody can relate to having been in high school. The realism of the characters and the growth and development of the protagonist during the story. What did you love best about Before I Fall?
