Before I Die by Jenny Downham

Tessa is sixteen. Her birthday is in May. It's September. Tessa has terminal leukemia. She also has a list of things she wants to do before she dies. Have sex, do drugs, say "yes" to everything for a day, go on life's adventure. Tessa gives up on herself, stops the chemo, etc. and just wants to lifve.

This book was a very emotional journey for me. I'm sixteen, my birthday's in May, and I read this book in September. It made me think about what I would do if I had six months to live. It was a self reflective adventure. I would recomend this to anyone. It made me cry, it made me laugh, and it made me think.
