Adams Silvera is an ugly, mean, cruel writer. There, I said it!
I read this series back to back in the past month or so and I haven’t felt so emotionally devastated in my life. He just loves to make people suffer! To make ME ugly cry!!!
These stories feel so real, so relatable even though I was denied the opportunity to live a romantic love as a queer teenager. Or adult, for all that matters.
This third chapter manages to connect all the stories together somehow, sometimes with a little bit of a stretch but that still does make sense.
I had a hard time connecting with the character of Paz, I’m not sure why. Perhaps because I had to deal with my own share of suicidal thoughts and depression throughout the years, this felt somehow either too close for comfort or at times too distant. Alano, on the other hand, sounded more like my therapist and I liked him right away.
The story seems almost too banal at first compared to the previous books, but I honestly found it smart to never reveal who’s going to die at the end like the first two books did. This allowed me to be on the edge of my sear at the beginning of every chapter, leaving me wanting for more. Something I’ll have to wait for because apparently there’s another book in the series not yet written!

First off, the trigger warning: anyone that struggles with the topic, or thoughts of, suicide, need to go into this one knowing that it is a primary focus of the whole book. TSWTDATE had the same feel as the other two books, and one of my very favorite things that Silvera has done is interwoven all of the characters lives in crazy ways. It's hard to say I enjoyed a book that was so consistently heavy, but I'm grateful for this series and the conversations it may raise or the thoughts it may invoke.

I think capturing the emotions of the first book is impossible. And making such a long book respecting patterns isn’t the pay off I was expecting. especially when this book ends in a cliffhanger. I think talking about mental health issues was done in such a respectful, real way, that definitely made me understand the characters in a deep way. I wasn’t particularly entertained with is, as with the other books, I wasn’t particularly entertained expecting a romance story. While I’m ok exploring what love looks like in people that hold secrets and have to go through mental breaks, I feel the novel was unnecessary long. I’ll definitely read the next one.
this book deals a lot with suicide, which was very hard to read. and on the other hand, there is not a lot happening. the secret of death cast is constantly being teased, but you don't get a resolution. the way this book ends definitely means there is a sequel coming, but this just wasn't a satisfying read?
like, why was this book 720 pages long if we still do not get the explanation everyone was waiting for since book 1??
I liked that the author tied the whole series together, explaining the connections between these two characters and the protagonists of the first two books. but overall, this screams "unneccessary filler book".
