Before I Fall: Video Discussion

We've videotaped small segments of our book club discussion of Before I Fall. We're still trying to get the hang of doing this on camera, but this is only our second try. Hopefully, we'll improve with time.
**Spoiler Alert!!! We explicitly discuss the ending of the book in the video segments below. Please stop viewing if you haven't finished the novel.
Here's the first segment, our introduction and ratings, on a scale of 1-5 stars:






Second discussion question (Thanks, Tammy).


One word!


Thanks for viewing! And check back soon for Melisa's announcement of the next book.

  1. that was a lot of fun to watch! thank you, you five bookish spinster types.

    listening to your conversation helped me see that I got a bit caught up in the criticism I expressed in my comment on an earlier post, and while I think at some level I had appreciated a lot of the strengths in the book, my focus on the criticism came at the expense of focusing on the book's strengths. It was very well written and both the plot and the characters were really compelling. In fact, the criticism I made -- that the negative consequences of Sam's actions on Juliet's life did not seem to be considered and acknowledged adequately by the author -- really was able to get a grip on me precisely because I was so caught up and interested in the lives of the characters. The narrator's voice was authentic and sympathetic. And as I said before, this book was so much better than Impossible (in my own opinion).
