I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.

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.

Honestly, this was an unfortunately sad read (it was obvious but still). It took some time for me to actually get into the book. It was a bit dragged in the beginning but slowly got interesting and started picking up some pace. The concept and premise of the book were intriguing and I was hooked -The friendships, the writing, the description, the love that blossomed, the philosophy, thoughts oh Good Lord. Everything was amazingly written. The little chapters of side characters being intertwined into Mateo and Rufus' Last Day were beautiful, sort of like a movie where you could see the characters (though not so important) being affected directly or indirectly by them. 

Even though it was evident they both would die at the end (the whole point of the title) I still hoped against everything they both would live. There weren't any plot twists per se but the build-up, and the storyline was 'close-the-book-for-a-while-and-breathe' worthy. Overall a good book to read.

Despite the title, I wasn't expecting the ending and it was really good but sad. I loved the concept of the book, very little detail for the world they are in was great and really liked. But, the characters didn't really grab me until halfway through and even then I don't have much to say about them. Due to the plot and world, it made me think a lot about life and especially death.
