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

by Lauren Oliver

If you repeat something enough, you can almost make yourself believe it.

‘You never knew me. And you can’t make me better. Nobody can make me better.’ This reminds me of what I said to Kent only two days ago – I don’t think I can be fixed – but now I know I was wrong. Everyone can be fixed; it has to be that way, it’s the only thing that makes sense.

I guess that’s what saying good-bye is always like – like jumping off an edge. The worst part is making the choice to do it. Once you’re in the air, there’s nothing you can do but let go.
