So Lena,a girl living with her aunt, uncle, and cousins because her parents died is almost ready to take the procedure. The ",rocedure",takes place on her birthday, and it causes her to be ",lder",and not fall in love because the president in this book, thinks love is a disease...after people have the procedure you go to college then you get married with the person your assigned with. So ninety five days before September 3 {her birthday} she meets a guy named Alex during her evaluation, and the evaluation is when some scientists decide who she should be paired with and has her answer some questions. Before she knows it, she falls in love with Alex and has limited time to spend with him until her procedure.

Rezension(12): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: December 20, 2010 In her sophomore novel, Oliver (Before I Fall) presents an intriguing but disappointing thought experiment, set in a dystopian future in which American borders are sealed and civil order is enforced by regulation, vigilantism, and ",he procedure,",a coming-of-age lobotomy that excises amor deliria nervosa, or love. Nearly 18, Lena Haloway welcomes the prospect,her mother underwent three unsuccessful procedures and eventually committed suicide, so Lena deeply believes that love equals suffering. Still, there', a subversiveness to her thoughts and actions, from nurturing the motherless child Gracie to reading Romeo and Juliet because it is ",eautiful,",not the cautionary tale it', presented as. When a strange, handsome boy begins to intrude on her life, strictly against the regulations, the ",eauty",of that tragic trope begins to play out swiftly and relentlessly. The prose is accomplished, and the Portland, Maine, setting wonderfully evoked. However, Oliver', nightmare future lacks a visceral punch, primarily because of the weakness of the world-building. Her America has undergone a seismic shift, but the economic, religious, and cultural ramifications are all but ignored. Ages 14–up. "
