Such a fascinating premise. I loved getting to see how all the characters’ stories tied together and the interesting conversations about death, which were honestly more interesting to me than the romance. I would’ve liked to see more build up of romantic glimpses into Mateo & Rufus’s last day (though maybe that wasn’t really intended to be the focus), but overall I was really satisfied and thought the ending was fitting.

I read and watched multiple reviews  on this book and I didn’t expect to feel anything since I’m not at all an emotional person with sad books. This book, however, absolutely wrecked me. The way the book is formatted makes you feel like they have so much time together and made me forget that they were eventually going to die despite that being the title of the book. One part I can appreciate is this books’ focus is on the relationship aspect, the way they both changed after meeting each other even though they had only met 24 hours before. I also appreciate that it doesn’t outwardly state that it’s LGBT so those who are not out and/or in an unaccepting home, like me, can read it and still feel represented. Overall great book with amazing suspense and relationships.

No.

"No one should feel bad for trying to be good."

Mateo deserved every good thing in the world because he believed there is a good part in everyone deep inside. He'll give everyone the benefit of the doubt. He's pure, innocent, and kind that I would willingly save him in the face of danger, and he'll do the same. He lived for everyone. My love for this character will be endless.

If anyone would ask if this made me cry, the answer is no. But it felt like my heart squeezed with every passing chapter because of how attached I felt to Mateo. The fact that deep inside, I was rooting for Mateo to beat Death-Cast. Deep inside, I wished death for him was not inevitable. With my all, I wish he's real and knowing that a person like him is living would be comforting.

Mateo is 97% reason I'm giving this five stars, 1% because of how great that everything and EVERYONE are connected (in some way) and have their own POVs, and 2% because Rufus helped Mateo be everything he wanted to be in his last hours and Mateo, helped Rufus found colour in his life in his last hours.

CW: Violence, Blood, Death of Animal (Bird), House on Fire, Car Accident, Bomb Explosion, Suicide Ideation, Gun, Anxiety, Attempted Murder, Bullying, Death, Depression, and Grief (search it up for more specifics or correct CW as mine is what I thought is triggering while I read it)

 Overall Thoughts:
⁕ The book is largely structured around Mateo and Rufus' narration with some 3rd person narration sprinkled in here and there. Each chapter is in chronological order and timestamped throughout their last day.   

⁕ The ending of this book did not have the emotional impact that Tik Tok and Bookstagram promised. Maybe it's because the title of the book spoils it, but I think it's actually because the tear-jerking, misty-eyed moments are sprinkled in throughout the plot. The focus of the book is the journey and connections that are made along the way, not the destination. 

⁕ The "sci-fi" elements central to the plot of this book are incredibly intriguing. However, if you are drawn to this book solely because of death cast and it's implications, this might not be the read for you! World-building only extends as far as it is relevant to the direct impact it has on Mateo and Rufus. There are no deep dives into the history, politics, or science besides some very vague basics.

Young people facing the most challenging thing what is  

dying</spoiler, but still they have a lot of hope, mature view like also young mentality about what happening. They growing up to fast, because they not have a choice and seeing how everything is changing in just one day in they life makes you question your own.
