I did not have high expectations for this book, as I tend to be underwhelmed by tiktok recommendations, but this story was above those expectations. I recommend going into this book without context - aside from the obvious spoiler - to be surprised by the brilliant science-fiction world building and plot! This is the kind of book many readers could finish in a day due to the fast pace, exciting plot and emotionally engaging characters. Despite the upsetting themes, this is a genuine feel-good holiday read with characters who are easy to become attached to. However two-dimensional and predictable some of the character's are, it is perfect for what it is.

wasn't as sad as I thought I'd be near the end,

for some reason Matteo's death seemed rushed and I didn't care about it much.

Really cute book with adorable and likable characters- felt a bit long but thats kind of the point I suppose. The narrative switching between the two main characters took some getting used to and might have to contributed to the book feeling longer than it was/ needed to be. Conclusion felt a bit rushed after such a slow burn of a story, but overall enjoyable!

This should be titled "You will cry at the end", because you absoltuely will. It should also come with some tissues because fuck you Adam Silvera, I don't care if you told me in the title what was going to happen you still broke my heart by making this story and these characters come to life and then taking them away from me, you bastard.

Its so goddamn beautiful and intricate, the stories told in such a unique but dreary world are not only captivating but heartfelt and the way they cross over into each others lives like a web that mirrors real life is nothing short of perfection. Seriously I cant remember the last time a novel made me go "HOLY FUCK THE CROSSOVER" or "I DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING HOLY SHIT", and even just a good ole "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!"

Like I said, It's been a while since a story hit me as hard as this one did, I have oh so many strong feelings about it, and think that the ending was perfect too. 

Even though its intentionally left open and vague, I think I know whats intended to happen,  but really it doesn't matter what happens after the last page. What matters is what they did to cherish the life they had while they had it, and I took a lot from that. DOTA
