Me not even ten or so pages later: *balling my eyes out for the rest of the book*
READ THIS BOOK. DO IT. Of course if constant mentions of death is triggering for you, then don’t read it. I keep thinking about the book and just want to cry 😭

- Just because your audience target is 13-14 years old doesn't mean you need to write as if you are also that age.
- The audience is aware your characters are dying and do not need you to remind them every three sentences.
- Random quotes from famous people that don't specifically relate to your characters doesn't make your book deep.
- There is no need to recap song lyrics from every song. This isn't fanficton.
The premise had potential, but the execution was poor; which was further emphasized by the juvenility of the writing style. Unfortunately, the characters weren't likable enough to pull you through.
Moderate: Child death, Death, and Death of parent
Minor: Terminal illness, Gun violence, Suicide, and Death of parent

In the near future, you receive a notification the day you die. Two queer teens both receive their notifications the same day and decide to meet up and spent their last day together. It's all about trauma, found family, fear and hope, and living. It's one of those books that has stuck with me, popping up in odd moments in my head. It's solidly YA.
