Om allt du hade var idag.

I started to think about time, and how it keeps moving and draining and flowing forever forward, seconds into minutes into days into years, all of it leading to the same place, a current running forever in one direction. And we're all going and swimming as fast as we ca, helping it along.

My point is: maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there's a tomorrow. Maybe for you there's one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten, so much time you can bathe in it, roll around in it, let it slide like coins through your fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there's only today. And the truth is, you never really know.

Before I fall - Lauren Oliver. En flicka dor i en bilolycka, en helt vanlig dag pa vag hem efter en fest. Hon sitter i bilen med sina basta vanner och de skrattar och lever. Plotsligt ar det over. Hon dor. Boken handlar om just den har dagen. Hur hon tvingas ateruppleva den, om och om och om igen. What if you only had one day to live... Hur skulle du leva den?
