Genuinely one of the best books I've ever read. The love story was beautiful and the way it was written was incredible. The plot flowed really well and while the difficulties of being queer were a part of the book, they didn't overshadow and ruin the romance as so many queer stories do.

"We found each other in life.
And we found each other in death."
The way this book made me feel, it's not normal.
By this point if you read my reviews, you know that most of the books I read are chosen based on recommendations given by friends, or in any case, the covers. The excitement I had the first time I saw the cover of this book was enormous. The design of the drawing, the color palette, the typography, everything automatically made me add the book to my TBR without reading the synopsis.
After 4 hours of reading, interrupted by crying sessions, I can say that I don't regret picking this book up. I found the romance of the main characters so cute and it was extremely sad to have to read the scenes together. I would have liked to have been able to get a more in depth look at the friendship and family relationships, especially their reactions to our main character's death.
Other than that, I cried while reading it, which reaffirms that I am a masochist for reading books that will destroy me emotionally.

I haven’t cried over a book in… I don’t know how long. But I did over this book. And I think if Sean hadn’t been here to comfort me it would’ve been a full scale breakdown. This shit is GOOD. I am so impressed! At first I thought their relationship was really sugary sweet and corny and then I was wondering (spoiler) why we were focusing on their relationship so much that over 100 pages in the main character still hadn’t died and gone to be a grim reaper (end spoiler) but I love how the author did this. I love the timeline. I love the relationships. I can’t think of anything at this time I did not enjoy.
