About this listen
Fighting back against hospital visits, endless tests, drugs with excruciating side-effects, Tessa compiles a list. It's her To Do Before I Die list. And number one is sex.
Released from the constraints of 'normal' life, Tessa tastes new experiences to make her feel alive while her failing body struggles to keep up.
Tessa's feelings, her relationships with her father and brother, her estranged mother, her best friend, her new boyfriend, all are painfully crystallized in the precious weeks before Tessa's time finally runs out.
Before I Die is a brilliantly-crafted novel, heartbreaking yet astonishingly life-affirming. It will take you to the very edge.

children with cancer
I love the way this story does take you right to the edge to see what's there. you can almost imagine it's yourself how angry you would be at the world at everything. Tessa Scott isn't going to curl up with blankets with her head on her dad's shoulder, she's going to suck every last bit out of the couple of months she has left sex drugs and rock n roll. Zoe her bff gives her a helping hand in a world Tessa hasn't learnt yet. funny truthful and sad quite the opposite of The fault in our stars another beautifully done kids cancer story only Hazels death is hers and Tessas is Tessas.

I wish I could give more stars.
From the storyline to the performance I truely felt like I was apart of the story. It was all spectacular. A friend of mine recommended this books to me years ago when she was told she was going to die young, she proved them wrong but we both know our time now is shorter than most people and this book gave me a few ideas on how to cope with my mortality. From starting the book to ending it I ended up doing similar things to the main character and it’s made me so happy. I know this doesn’t relate but to any child/young adult/ or child at heart adult facing their mortality or wanting a reminder to live life. Read this book.
