What an incredible read. Character development that gets you hooked into their short lives. A real tear jerker that had me crying through its final pages. As the title says, they both die at the end and the beautiful writing truly makes you feel as though you’re grieving real people. An incredible read.

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 would have preferred the main characters to stay as friends. I didn't find the romance to be convincing and it felt a bit empty and cliche. I also don't understand what happened to Delilah. I'm assuming she died(?) and I guess that sets up the reader for the next book in the series. I was sad about Mateo and Rufus(?) dying.

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.

Did I know what was going to happen and when it was going to happen? Yes. Did I still manage to cry? Also, yes. 

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.
