La premessa del libro è molto interessante e originale, mi ha incuriosito fin da subito. 
E' facile anche affezionarsi ai personaggi, vivendo le ultime ore della loro vita con loro, vedendo i loro pensieri ed emozioni. Ti portano fin da subito a provare un senso di speranza per loro, nonostante la premessa e il titolo del libro. Avendo sofferto di problemi d'ansia, ho trovato Mateo particolarmente facile da capire e immedesimarmi. 
Il punto più negativo per me è stata la scrittura. Ho trovato alcuni dialoghi veramente irrealistici, troppo forzati. Passavo dall'essere totalmente immerso nel libro, ad amare i personaggi e gioire o piangere con loro nella pagina prima e nella pagina dopo mi ritrovavo davanti a qualche dialogo che mi faceva uscire immediatamente da questa "trance" e mi ricordava dov'ero realmente.
E' stato davvero complicato dare un voto he riuscisse a bilanciare questi due aspetti del libro.

I really loved this book, but I was really confused at some times because of the multiple POVs and keeping them straight which is why I didn’t give this 5 stars. It is an amazing book though!

Me with only about thirty pages left: “Oh maybe this book won’t make me cry.”

Me not even ten or so pages later: *balling my eyes out for the rest of the book*

READ THIS BOOK. DO IT. Of course if constant mentions of death is triggering for you, then don’t read it.  I keep thinking about the book and just want to cry 😭

it's very interesting how the story plays out, you don't except most of the plot, the only REALLY predictable thing is the ending, for obvious reasons.

Beautifully written and full of nuggets of wisdom. A lovely story of living life, loving each other, and doing the best that you can with the time that you have. Loved the development of the characters, queer and POC representation, and just overall a great read!
