I've never had a book make me question my entire life until now. This book centers around life and death and how they are always and forever will be intertwined. There's nothing anyone can do about that, but live like you are dying (makes me think of my favorite country song, I love that!). 

Mateo and Rufus warmed by heart from beginning to end. I rode this journey with them - this beautiful 24-hour experience of living life to the fullest. Every piece was beautiful and enriched the story. Every moment intertwined and showed how Mateo and Rufus made contact with so many people without knowing it. 

I loved the structure so much. With each new name and timestamp, I fell deeper into the story. What a beautiful way to ponder life.
