This book was a storm of feelings. There was love, friendship, grieve, fear, anger, excitement, joy and gratitude and so much more. The message, to live life as long as we can and take chances not caring too much about what others will think and what bad could happen, it's so beautiful. The characters are very realistic, they are shown with diverse facettes. They are shown sad, happy, afraid and angry and with every situation it seems like the reader knows them better. It's like being with them. Maybe that's why the reader feels so much, because it feels like we know them. Because we saw them in their worst moments and we loved them even more. The whole story happens in one day, less than 24 hours, and still it feels like so much more. For me it's a masterpiece.
This end caused the hardest cry ever. The titel told me "they both die at the end" and everywhere in this book I read that they don't have a lot of time left and that they will die. I should've known, that there is no way out. But these two characters, Mateo and Rufus, were so loveable, that I couldn't do anything but hope. Hope, that they will be the first people to survive the altert. Hope, that these beautiful relationship will have a future. They were so wonderful together and they taught each other how to be the best version of themselves. I just wished so hard, that they could've lived a little longer. There were so many incidents that they survived that this end was just horrible. They survived the explosion and they survived the fight. But then Mateo has to die making a tea?! I just cried like half an hour and I still have tears in my eyes.
