This is easily one of my favorite books. I found it so easy to read and so easy to dive into. 

I loved how the main characters, Mateo and Rufus where completely different from each other but found hope and a chance in one another. They both helped each other in their own ways. I loved them both so much.  

<The ending broke my heart. Apart of me was wishing that they would prove the system wrong and get out safely and still alive. I hoped that they would grow old together. I knew it wasn’t going to happen but I really did wish for it. I think that’s what made the ending sadder> 

I feel like a lot of people misinterpreted the meaning of the book but from my understanding it’s about not being able to do everything in one day. It’s about not being able to live your life in a single day because there isn’t much time. So instead of living in fear you need to get out there and live because you don’t know when it’ll be your last. 
I think this book carries a big meaning behind it. 

Overall I found this book so beautiful and the language was amazing as well. I felt like I was listening to two teenage boys talk not two boys talk as if they are adults. They sounded like normal teenage boys  as there wasn’t this formality to it which made my love for this book grow.

Genuinely the only book to make me cry so far. The characters are so loveable and I enjoyed every second of reading this book. It’s an easy read and I’m sure that it can be done in one sitting so it’s the perfect holiday book. It’s adorable and heartbreaking.
