Ninety-five days, and then I`ll be safe. I wonder whether the procedure will hurt. I want to get it over with. It`s hard to be patient. It`s hard not to be afraid while I`m still uncured, though so far the deliria hasn`t touched me yet. Still, I worry. They say that in the old days, love drove people to madness. The deadliest of all deadly things: It kills you both when you have it and when you don`t. Lauren Oliver astonished readers with her stunning debut, Before I Fall. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called it raw, emotional, and, at times, beautiful. An end as brave as it is heartbreaking. Her much-awaited second novel fulfills her promise as an exceptionally talented and versatile writer.
