This brunette girl, mad pretty, is bawling when a guy advances on her with some tired-ass pickup line (“Maybe you’ll live to see another day with some Vitamin Me in your system.”)
As a person with a monster truck of anxiety, I very much related to Matteo. Most of the passages I highlighted to save are from his POV. I enjoyed watching him as the story progressed.
The only complaint I can think of is my disappointment that Final Destination was not mentioned ONCE during this entire book, when it had been set up so perfectly so many times. But as I was writing this I had the panicky thought that kids today might not even know what that movie is, which is horrifying
I know there’s a prequel that came after this, and just discovered there’s a book 2 coming out next year. I obviously don’t know what happens in those so I don’t know if this gets answered, but I want another book to come out where you find out there’s some big nefarious conspiracy to how Death-Cast got started, and how people deal with finding it out/having to get it shut down/something like that. Buuut that’s my love of ominous horror/thrillers bleeding into this world lol

I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. The performances are masterful and really bring the characters to life.

I’m not a fan of the writing style of the characters. “ the world is mad cruel.” It sounds like he's trying too hard to appeal to teens.
This book does not have any real discernible climax or resolution. The events seem very random and don’t follow a theme or goal. The characters are flat and seem to make decisions to drive the plot of these random events, rather than reflect good character.
This book will not keep you up at night. It will not make you cry. However, it is perfect for making you tired before bed.
Moderate: Grief and Car accident
Minor: Gun violence
