Most emotional book I've read but so so beautiful and inspiring, it actually made me look at life in a way I never really did before.

This hurt in all the right ways. Definitely a book for you if you’re looking ti read about a deep connection that is honestly so rare. But it’s out there, even in the most unlikely of places, which is also something the book touches on. So well written and heartaching.

i put off reading this book for a while and not because the plot didn’t interest me but because i hadn’t ever given reading a good go and i saw how much it initially got hyped up on tiktok. my best friend bought it for me as a gift and i can honestly say if you’re struggling to get into a reading flow this book is perfect for breaking down that barrier, the characters are lovable and the development of mateo and rufus is very strong with their flaws being one of the main focuses of the book. this book is uplifting and powerful and holds a strong sense of hope. i can imagine if i had read this as a younger adult it would have given me push i needed in order to live and not just survive.

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.

The concept of the book was unique, and I found it very compelling. I listened to the audiobook, which had multiple voice actors performing different parts. 
My main criticism is that the ending of the book was extremely abrupt, and we didn't get closure on any of our minor storylines.
Overall, I really enjoyed it.

The book obviously discusses death (and what it means to really live) for, essentially, the entirety of the text. There are some minor scenes referencing the potential triggers I tagged above but I didn't find it to be gory or gruesome or overly dark.

The ending is good, intense in comparison but still not brilliant. Nah their relationship would’ve lasted a long time. Maybe a lifetime. The settings apart from in bed and foster home were really boring. Okay train and the make a memory place were cool. There were a lot of places!

my whole way throughout this book was such a fun journey . I loved how it was written and the plot itself but I lost a lot of my love for it with the ending . 

the fact mateo dies due to the stove after he's previously mentioned felt flat to me . I loved the use of everything that was previously mentioned beforehand , but the fact that out of the two *he* was the one to die because of it didn't feel right .

overall I loved the characters we got to meet and the plot overall , it just fell flat with very certain but limited points .
