But things change when she gets to know her new neighbor - an 18-year old boy Adam, who has a heartbreaking story of his own. The first sexual experience doesn't make Tessa feel any better, in fact, she is crushed more than ever.
She wants to experience love, but knowing that there is no way it is possible in her circumstances, she settles for having sex. Some items on the list are silly - to try drugs, to commit a crime, to become famous - but one desire overwhelmes Tessa. Trying to make the best of the time she has left, Tessa comes up with a list of things she would like to experience before she dies. She knows that she has only a few months to live and struggles to come to terms with her fate. The premise of Before I Die is quite simple - Tessa is 16 and dying of leukemia. It's not as if I didn't know how it would end - the title says it all, but I didn't expect to be touched by the story to such a degree.
