First Entry for Before I Die 3/24/11

The book opens you up right into the story, but you are still wondering while you're reading it what Tess's real opinion and why she allows herself to act the way she does at times. She wants to live before she dies, and you won't know the full list she wants to complete until the end of her story. The younger brother cal must be going through a whirlwind of emotions just seeing his sister diminish and change before his eyes. Even though Tess's friend doesn't change how she acts around Tess once she learned of her cancer, I don't agree with the way she forces everything on Tess. I wonder if she is going to turn out to be a real treasure, or will Tess lose her as a friend?
