Short Review (TL;DR):
- Felt very guilty pleasure — not a lot of substance, but enjoyable
- Hated everyone, but also loved to hate them
- Sprinkle of female friendships and mother-daughter relationship analysis
Based on the cover I had expected something a little bit more intellectual or something with a bit more grit: this book was not that. It was, however, a very enjoyable read.

- Extra fun read it you have even the most basic knowledge of greek philosophy or tragedies
- Made me think way too much of my old literature professors (can’t tell you if that’s in a good way or bad way, i have no idea)
- really fucking good.

i feel like it’s hard to review this book so i agree with all of the „wtf was this — 5 star“ reviews, i think that’s the most accurate review for this 😭

long ish review: i really did love this book. the set up was so good. the unreliable narrator was so well done and really had you questioning what was going to happen next at all times. i feel like the build up was just so good that the climax ended up being pretty anticlimactic. it felt very rushed at the end and therefore a bit disappointing. that being said — i’d still rec it! it’s a really good read (more of a psychological thriller than a witchy-magical-book fyi!!)

premise is really cool — in this world you get notified by Death Cast around midnight of the day you’re going to die. society has integrated this so there’s special events for people living their last day and ways to find people to be with if you have no one.
it follows two boys on their last day but also shares the stories of a few others (not hard to keep track of tho!). it’s all about living your life to it’s fullest potential and how to not have regrets.
idk what else to say but as i got closer and closer to the end my heart was literally racing bc, like the title says „they both die at the end“.
