The book offered an intersection of escapism—with a scifi style premise—and an ordinary slice-of-life story.

This book is definitely dark and handles a lot of potentially triggering topics very honestly. Because of the perspective shifts, you hear some really dark thoughts in different characters’ minds._nem_'s review against another edition

It did make me feel a bit anxious while reading it, thinking ‘why don’t I do something adventurous like them?’ ‘have I truely lived?’ ‘what if I died tomorrow?’. It was an emotional journey.
I fell in love with the characters even though I told myself not to because well, they both die at the end, but that proved impossible and I was a mess at the end.
This book has made me want to buy all of Adam Silvera’s books, that’s how much I enjoyed it.

I’m not personally a huge fan of “we fell in love in less than a day”, but it was still really cute. Mateo and Rufus were both really easy characters to enjoy, and I wish we would’ve gotten more time getting to be with them.
I loved a lot of the secondary characters too (namely the Plutos and Lidia), but I think that, even though it connected to Mateo’s and Rufus’ stories, a lot of the other perspectives were a bit distracting. I had to page through to remember characters who were only mentioned one other time in passing. It’s a REALLY cool concept, but I just have mixed feelings on it.

“Twelve hours ago I received the phone call telling me I’m going to die today, and I’m more alive now than I was then.”
