abbyycadabbyy's review against another edition
2.5
The reason I liked the other book so much was because that book had character development and actually had a plot. I felt that this books plot was solely romance. The characters in this book were flat with no personality. I wasn't rooting for them at all. I really wasn't that interested in either of their stories. I felt like I was more interested in the other side characters than our main characters.
I was actually pretty invested in Gloria's relationship. The ending (involving Gloria) was actually my favorite part of the whole book. It not really the best sign when I say my favorite part was with people who were only talking about on like 50/550 pages.
I liked to see the interworks of death-cast. I hate the dude who owned death-cast thought, there was something about him that rubbed me the wrong way. I think that was the only reason I didn't DNF this book. I really enjoy the concept of death-cast. And anything that is about death-cast I will continue to read.
I have a lot of mixed feelings about this book. There were parts that I hated and there were parts that I loved. But if the parts that I loved were about other people who weren't the main characters, is the book really that good?

I loved Orion and Valentino every step of the way. The whole book was just so good. I loved getting to see how everything went down with the launch of Deathcast. And getting to see young Mateo and Rufus and their families, warmed my heart. I even started crying...
I cried a lot more throughout this book than TBDATE, however, I would say that TBDATE is still my favourite. They're both so good in their own ways. And I love how even though the title spoils the books, Adams writing makes you doubt what's gonna happen every step of the way. I was so anxious and on edge every time a new curve ball was thrown our way. The closer the end crept the more anxious I got.
I just adore Adam's writing. It never ceases to suck me in and make me feel a roller coaster of emotions.
If I could've I would've devoured this book in one sitting. I never wanted to stop or put it down.
I've got a million thoughts and feelings from this book jumbled in my brain, but I can't seem to organize them and put them down into writing so I'll stop here. But god, what a good book to just shatter your heart into a million tiny pieces. I still don't think I've fully recovered and I'm probably a lunatic for going to reread TBDATE next now.....
Oh well, I guess I'm just in the mood to emotionally wreck myself some more :D
