Beautifully written and full of nuggets of wisdom. A lovely story of living life, loving each other, and doing the best that you can with the time that you have. Loved the development of the characters, queer and POC representation, and just overall a great read!

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.

“Twelve hours ago I received the phone call telling me I’m going to die today, and I’m more alive now than I was then.”

A really interesting book. I love the concept, but I do think it could have used a bit more editing to polish it. I have the collector’s edition, where it’s clear that Rufus’ parts were added in after the first draft and unfortunately this shows. Also, ate being so good and yet so anxious - I feel like this was done really heavily, we weren’t really given any reason for it so it felt kind of forced.

I would have liked to have closure for other characters such as Delilah. I really liked how you couldn’t tell how they died until it happened - there were lots of possibilities which kept you guessing. I also enjoyed how everyone was so interconnected even if they didn’t realize it.
