Be warned, this book will probably make you cry more then once. It is a beautiful story about pain, hope and love, not only others but also self love. It's a story about the light in our darkest moments. I personally really enjoy the writing style and use of flashbacks to give even more insights on the character's relationships and past. Those were the perfect addition to the story and as interesting as the main part of it, neither their content nor how much they appeared distracted from the main story or was boring. While I was reading the novel I felt like I was there with them and it definitely pulled me in. The diverse cast made me personally really happy and I think shows a beautiful represantation for the LGBTQIA+ community. I loved everything about it and can't wait for more books from this author.

I did not enjoy this as much as I'd hoped to. I loved the mental health rep, LGBTQ+ rep and PoC rep but could not connect with the characters at all. The timeline confused me and the ending was one of those non-endings I dislike. Still, it had sone heartwarming moments.

I loved this book so much. It was so emotional and I cried so so much. But it was still the book I needed the most time for this year, because sometimes it was hitting a little bit to close to home and I needed to take a break and read something else just for the sake of my mental health.

“I had always known grief was a type of loneliness, but when I went to college, I learned loneliness was a type of grief.” 

➽ If Tomorrow Doesn't Come is an emotional story about Avery, who's suffering from undiagnosed depression. She's not dealing well with college and one morning she decides to end her life. It doesn't end up happening, as an asteroid is headed for Earth and the world only has nine days left before it hits. With so little time left, Avery's going back home to her parents and spending time with her secret crush and best friend Cass. This was definitely a hard-hitting story at times, as it deals with Avery's mental health and fear of coming out to her parents, who aren't the most queer-friendly. Avery has a lot of things she never talked about, but the time to deal with them is running out. We also see glimpses of how the world descends into chaos as everyone is scrambling to go back home and prepare for the end of the world. I wish we'd seen more of the impact the asteroid and impending doom caused in the world. We only get snippets and it was disappointing that the premise wasn't used more.

The ending is ambiguous, which I expected. I was still a bit sad that we didn't even get a hint of  what happened to the world and is it's truly over for everyone.

This book was insanely good! Cass and Avery have my heart T^T💕 . I loved reading this book, but it was also quite difficult at times. It really broke my heart how hard Avery was trying, but just couldn’t get any help. I love Cass so much! 💗💗🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 I thought both of them were kinda relatable xD o^o. 

I was so proud of Avery for standing up to the stupid priest in the end! Also her parents still being supportive of her, even though they were christians made me cry. It was so sweet! Their family in general was so beautiful, because even though they were imperfect the loved each other so much ;-;.

 
Teddy was obviously the best character ;D.
