First things first: Silvera has a major talent for characterization. Everyone in this book is now my best friend. The set up of this book is exactly like There There by Tommy Orange. The multi pov isn't my favorite, and I could have done without it. The bright side is that it led us into the worldbuilding aspects and how this construct affects society through individual experiences.  The ending annoyed me though. It did make me shed a tear. Some subplots were just completely unnecessary though. It was okay.

I truely loved this book. 
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.

Despite having the ending spelled out for me in its very title, it still made my breath catch...
