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

This book did a really good job of balancing the heaviness of its material with the need to tell a story that wouldn’t stay mired in existential dread. i appreciate that author wrote from Mateo’s and Rufus’ point of view and did so with distinct characterization. i admire as well how fleshed out all of the non main character felt as well. the story felt like a realistic depiction of what might go down in a world where Death-cast existed. At times, i found the theme being reiterated with slightly different phrasing that didn’t add to the story. i also feel that some people may read this story and not get the message the author intended. it’s a complicated topic, and I am glad someone made an attempt to address it through fiction.

I did not have high expectations for this book, as I tend to be underwhelmed by tiktok recommendations, but this story was above those expectations. I recommend going into this book without context - aside from the obvious spoiler - to be surprised by the brilliant science-fiction world building and plot! This is the kind of book many readers could finish in a day due to the fast pace, exciting plot and emotionally engaging characters. Despite the upsetting themes, this is a genuine feel-good holiday read with characters who are easy to become attached to. However two-dimensional and predictable some of the character's are, it is perfect for what it is.

This was one of my thrift store finds, I saw the title and it made me laugh. It just throws all the cards on the table from the start. I really enjoyed this book. It is so smart and unique, everything is connected to enact fate the way fate knew it was going to end all along. I just loved how all the characters and pieces fell together.
