I absolutely loved the humor in this book (esp the dark flavored variety). It was sewn in well to help break up the emotional stuff (and was very much appreciated). Here’s an example that made me cackle:

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 was blown away by this book. At first I struggled a bit with suspension of disbelief  when it came to accepting the premise of  infallible death date prediction. Since everything else about the book’s setting was so true to reality it felt extra implausible to imagine that kind of certainty. But once I stopped trying to argue with the premise, the characters and the journey of their last day was so compelling I couldn’t put it down.

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

Really loved this book!! I cried way more than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was very reflective, and joyous, and full of heart. The structure was really fun, I really loved getting multiple perspectives and the layout of the book. Very good read.

Honestly, this was an unfortunately sad read (it was obvious but still). It took some time for me to actually get into the book. It was a bit dragged in the beginning but slowly got interesting and started picking up some pace. The concept and premise of the book were intriguing and I was hooked -The friendships, the writing, the description, the love that blossomed, the philosophy, thoughts oh Good Lord. Everything was amazingly written. The little chapters of side characters being intertwined into Mateo and Rufus' Last Day were beautiful, sort of like a movie where you could see the characters (though not so important) being affected directly or indirectly by them. 

Even though it was evident they both would die at the end (the whole point of the title) I still hoped against everything they both would live. There weren't any plot twists per se but the build-up, and the storyline was 'close-the-book-for-a-while-and-breathe' worthy. Overall a good book to read.
