Honestly, this was a very tough read. But it also taught me a lot about mental health and ways to support those who are struggling. While the inclusion of additional character perspectives besides the two protagonists was sometimes annoying and the book could have overall been significantly shorter, this was still a very important book and a worthy addition to the series.

I went in with high expectations considering it was tackling such heavy subject matters and providing more insight into life intertwined with the Death-Cast company. However, my expectations were exceeded by far by providing: (1) awareness of lesser discussed mental health disorders, (2) demonstrations of how healing is not linear, (3) a mixture of tense and sweet moments between the characters, especially when the people in Paz & Alano's lives meet. The complexity of relationships between friends and family ultimately left me wanting to love louder and bolder. The previous Death-Cast books have a lot of paths crossing, but in this book Silvera creates so much more depth that strengthens the themes present. The only thing that was challenging for me to grasp was a certain aspect in regards to learning more about Alano towards the end. There was a piece about him that required me to suspend my belief a little, but it did not affect the rating considering Death-Cast in itself is a concept I've bought into since the first book. Overall, this was a six star book! This is the first book this year that moved me in a way that broadens my perspective on how to love someone in need of professional help.

Another BRILLIANT book in the Death Cast series! So many mysterious moments and twists that kept me reading further. I loved all of the interconnected moments with characters from the first two books, and I can’t wait to read what comes next for Paz and Alano!

"You are still very young.

Time moves differently when you want everyday to be your last. 

I can't believe that the one Death-Cast book with a major cliffhanger was the one I happened to decide to read soon after release... But it was an amazing book. I can't wait for the next book, and I'm sooooo glad that it'll also be about Paz and Alano! Because obviously it can't be about anyone but them!! This book also had hints about the secret of Death-Cast. 

Just a heads up: this book's major theme is suicide.

Phoe, heftig en prachtig tegelijk. Ik ben gewoon verliefd op deze hele serie en de wereld die Adam Silvera heeft weten te bedenken. De personages zijn zo slim, filosofisch en bijzonder. Dit boek was ook op zoveel vlakken heel anders dan de andere twee en de linkjes met de voorgaande boeken maken het verhaal echt nog veel rijker. Dit is gewoon helemaal mijn smaak qua verhalen. En ja er zijn heel veel trigger warnings, dus mocht je dit gaan lezen, houd daar dan zeker rekening mee 🤍

Its very mental health focused so definitely read the content warnings before starting the book!

Its very casually queer which i can appreciate but unfortunately the female characters fall flat most times.

unfortunatly this book reads like a first draft of a fanfiction that noone bothered to edit and contains a lot of serious topics that are at times described in very triggering ways or in ways that feel like bad representation 
maybe it‘s a very personal story or a way to reflect for the author, but to me some parts seem almost harmful 

it was catchy enough for me to want to finish reading it though and it‘s fun to find all the little hints and references to other characters and events from the series
i‘m curious to see what the next book will be, especially with
that cliffhanger at the end
