Book Review: By The Time You Read This, I'll Be Dead by Julie Anne Peters

Daelyn Rice is broken beyond repair, and after a string of botched suicide attempts, she's determined to get her death right. She starts visiting a web site for "completers" and blogs about her life, revealing a history of bullying. Then a boy named Santana begins to sit with her after school, even though she's made it clear she wants to be left alone. It's too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life...isn't it?

What SL teens are saying about the book...

"The countdown (to her suicide) made me nervous. I kept thinking to myself, 'X amount of days left. Will she change her mind?' I thought the book was good and read it in 3 hours."-- Simone F.

"It's a great book, especially for those who get teased, that has an important message about suicide."--Victoria M.

"I like the fact that loves comes unexpectedly in this book. But overall it seems lower quality than her other books."--Lucia Z.

"The book lets the reader get deep into the mind of a suicidal person. It shows you that it's not all about self-pity to them; it's about much, much more."--Jessica P.
