I had to take breaks reading this book, but was so glad I finished it. What a beautiful story that had me sobbing by the end.

I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.

Really loved this book!! I cried way more than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was very reflective, and joyous, and full of heart. The structure was really fun, I really loved getting multiple perspectives and the layout of the book. Very good read.

La premessa del libro è molto interessante e originale, mi ha incuriosito fin da subito. 
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.
