I was spoiled on how Mateo died, so that kind of took it down for me, but I still really enjoyed his and Rufus's journey on their last day together and I thought their relationship was incredibly wholesome. They balanced each other in the way Rufus made Mateo more brave and Mateo made Rufus care more about everything. I think everything after Mateo's death was done so well and I just love Rufus's note to Mateo's dad. 

I adored how Rufus's Instagram pictures all had color on his last day to represent living life to the fullest. 

A very emotionally impactful read and I'm glad I finally got around to it!

A good book to read to reflect on a possible future where you know you will die on the day you die. Explores different scenarios, emotions, etc. However, it is really interesting how all the character interplay with each other for this 24 hour period.

The first section was really slow, but the characters grew on me quickly once they were together. The last two sections felt much faster and I actually had to pause my reading because I couldn’t see through my tears. It was a very intense cry that felt really good but it emotionally wrecked me for days (lovingly). I also read the short story about Mateo’s dad that was included in my copy, pushing through even more tears. You can kind of zone out the beginning, but I would definitely recommend if you want a good cry and some hope in humanity. Love is always inspiring, especially in cases like these.
