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.

My only complaint about this book is that the beginning is a little slow. But I love this book so, so much. It's one of my absolute favorites.

Despite having the ending spelled out for me in its very title, it still made my breath catch...

5.0

I LOVED this book. The beginning, there is just a lot of foreshadowing, you don't know until you finish it, but just the small details that pull everything together?? Beautiful.

Example: When Mateo leaves a note for his neighbor to not worry about the stove's burner. Then in the end it just sadly wraps together that he should've worried about the burner... heartbreaking.

Just the development of the characters? Amazing. 
Some parts I was a little lost on how this random character played a part in the story, but it circled back. The little map(?) at the end helping describe how each character played back to the main 2, really really helped make me understand more. 
I feel like overall, it just showed how small things in life effect not only one person. 
Example:

Mateo had given Kendrick the shoes off his own feet, causing later in the story, Kendrick recognizes Mateo and that stops him from hitting Mateo. I would have loved to read exactly how Delilah and Rufus had passed, but I feel like stopping it abruptly, with the " I cross the street without an arm to hold me back." Just shows how Rufus had passed but it doesn't show how Delilah had, which maybe Victor was the one driving to Delilah but it wouldn't explain how she had passed. But they weren't MAIN character to further the plot, so I'm not that upset about not knowing.

Overall, this book was one of the best books that has affected me recently, it shows a different perspective of life and what it means to be alive and I just love this book. 
This book was a mix of gorgeous writing. I love this book and 100% recommend. I probably cried over this book 20 times.
