I had to take breaks reading this book, but was so glad I finished it. What a beautiful story that had me sobbing by the end.

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.

Really loved this book!! I cried way more than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was very reflective, and joyous, and full of heart. The structure was really fun, I really loved getting multiple perspectives and the layout of the book. Very good read.

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.

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.
