Recensione:
"Dealing frankly with teenage life, Before I Die will be the year's most talked-about novel." (The Sunday Times)
"A novel that won't fail to touch those who read it...A book that will make you happy to be alive
*****" (Heat)
"Fierce, bold and bright...Jenny Downham is capable of exquisite, almost fevered writing, but she's also a master of pace, slowly establishing a heroine so brimful of life that it is wrenching to endure the attritions of the final pages" (Observer)
"Downham has not only eschewed mawkishness, but has managed to convey real feeling. Her heroine - angry, funny and occasionally irrational - positively leaps off the page...This is a thoughtful, and sometimes painful, exploration of what it feels like to say goodbye to life before you have had a chance to live it." (The Times)
