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.

The first section was really slow, but the characters grew on me quickly once they were together. The last two sections felt much faster and I actually had to pause my reading because I couldn’t see through my tears. It was a very intense cry that felt really good but it emotionally wrecked me for days (lovingly). I also read the short story about Mateo’s dad that was included in my copy, pushing through even more tears. You can kind of zone out the beginning, but I would definitely recommend if you want a good cry and some hope in humanity. Love is always inspiring, especially in cases like these.

Although you know what happens in the end, it does not make it any easier. You go in trying to distance yourself from the characters because you know but at some point, that wall comes down and you become attached to them. This book really make you think, how would I react? Would I want to know? What would I do on my end day?

I really loved this book, but I was really confused at some times because of the multiple POVs and keeping them straight which is why I didn’t give this 5 stars. It is an amazing book though!
