E' facile anche affezionarsi ai personaggi, vivendo le ultime ore della loro vita con loro, vedendo i loro pensieri ed emozioni. Ti portano fin da subito a provare un senso di speranza per loro, nonostante la premessa e il titolo del libro. Avendo sofferto di problemi d'ansia, ho trovato Mateo particolarmente facile da capire e immedesimarmi.
Il punto più negativo per me è stata la scrittura. Ho trovato alcuni dialoghi veramente irrealistici, troppo forzati. Passavo dall'essere totalmente immerso nel libro, ad amare i personaggi e gioire o piangere con loro nella pagina prima e nella pagina dopo mi ritrovavo davanti a qualche dialogo che mi faceva uscire immediatamente da questa "trance" e mi ricordava dov'ero realmente.
E' stato davvero complicato dare un voto he riuscisse a bilanciare questi due aspetti del libro.

- Just because your audience target is 13-14 years old doesn't mean you need to write as if you are also that age.
- The audience is aware your characters are dying and do not need you to remind them every three sentences.
- Random quotes from famous people that don't specifically relate to your characters doesn't make your book deep.
- There is no need to recap song lyrics from every song. This isn't fanficton.
The premise had potential, but the execution was poor; which was further emphasized by the juvenility of the writing style. Unfortunately, the characters weren't likable enough to pull you through.
Moderate: Child death, Death, and Death of parent
Minor: Terminal illness, Gun violence, Suicide, and Death of parent
