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.

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!

🇳🇱: Dit boek is zo mooi geschreven. Wat als je weet dat je dood gaat maar niet hoe en wanneer. Het denkproces van twee mensen die dit telefoontje kregen wordt heel mooi beschreven. Twee prachtige mensen, totaal verschillend maar hetzelfde lot. Het boek is erg aangrijpend en zet je aan het denken. Ook is het zo geschreven dat je er doorheen vliegt.  Het is erg prettig dat de hoofdstukken kort zijn en dat je boven het hoofdstuk ziet over wie het gaat. Al met al een prachtig boek met een mooi onderwerp.

🇬🇧: This book is so beautifully written. What if you know you are going to die but you don't know how or when. The thought process of two people who received this phone call is described very nicely. Two beautiful people, completely different but with the same fate. The book is very moving and makes you think. It is also written in such a way that you fly through it. It is very nice that the chapters are short and that you can see who it is about at the top of the chapter. All in all a beautiful book with a beautiful subject

Not my favorite ending. But the journey throught the book is enjoyable. The different POVs can be off putting at times but overall pretty good.
