Spoilers Ahead: Do You Think that Lindsay's Character is Justifiable?

Post by Hyacinth Bella »

For everyone who read "Before I Fall" by Lauren Oliver, we all know how bad Lindsay is.

But do you think that her character is justifiable? She had a rough childhood, with parents all fighting here and there and then ending up in divorce. She also aborted her baby, the reason unknown.

For me, I don't think that her character is justifiable because you should not use your trauma to traumatize others. In Lindsay's case, she ruined the life of Juliet.

What do you think?
