My Ridiculous, Romantic Obsessions by Becca Wilhit.Forget-Her-Nots by Amy Brecount White Review.Interview: Lauren Oliver - Before I Fall.Interview: CJ Omololu, author of Dirty Little Secrets.She wants the freedom of growing up but not necessarily the problems or realities attached to it. Sam’s story is of the latter kind: a Groundhog Day style repeated day she must relive until she gets it right. When your novel’s heroine opens the story as a popular, mean highschooler, the story will be one of two things: a paean to Dolce & Gabbana or a tale of redemption. She conceals insecurity behind a veneer of indifference she is ambivalent about sex and whether or not to have it she craves love but isn't quite sure she knows how to identify it her friends mean everything to her and her parents annoy her a lot. by Lauren Oliver RELEASE DATE: March 1, 2010. In other ways, I think Sam is a very typical high school girl. So she definitely transforms hugely from the first chapter to the last.
The real heart of the novel is Sam's development as a person, and her reconnection to things that matter. At the same time, she needed to have a place to grow from. One of my biggest concerns when I was writing was that people would be so turned off by her character (and her character's lack of character) at the start of the book that they would be unmotivated to continue reading. She is self-involved she is petty she is casually cruel she doesn't take responsibility for the things she does. There's just no other way to say it: at the beginning of the book, she's a b%$ch.
