Question: does the girl die in before i fall

Answer: Yes, Through this ``Groundhog Day'' phenomenon, Sam experiences all five stages of grief. Denial is seen as she tries to evade her fate; she gets angry and rebels, lashing out at her friends (particularly Lindsay) and hanging out with students she would never dare be seen speaking with; she bargains with God, or fate, believing that if she can make things right, she can save her own life; depression, in which she feels that nothing even matters and where in she begins acting uncharacteristically and recklessly by having sex, kissing her teacher and doing drugs; and finally, acceptance. The Sam who accepts her death -- but only if she is able to save Juliet Sykes from committing suicide -- is a very different character from the girl on the first page of the book.
