I loved this book!!! The characters were lovable, and the plot was fascinating. It was interesting to imagine a world where they can predict death. Would read again.

It wasn’t sad at all for me, just kinda disappointing. At times it kinda felt like a slog to get through. 

This book is meant to take place over the span of one day, and because of that I find the characters and their developing relationship a little unrealistic. Honestly my controversial thoughts are that the author could take away the concept of Death-Cast and it might actually be a better book. I’m serious. It does nothing to help the pacing issues I had with the book. Removing it could have allowed itself to expand on the relationships in a more organic way. We didn’t really need to have a narrative reason for the characters to know they were about to die that day for the themes to still be present.

I don’t know. I know it makes for a different book entirely but whatever. I guess I just mean that this really didn’t work for me.

I didn’t like Mateo but I liked Rufus. He was a cool character that was allowed to be troubled, so to speak. So for that an extra star.

I'm not crying...oh, wait, I am...

The title may ruin the end, but it doesn't do it justice. The entire book warmed my heart and took me on a journey that I think I needed to hear myself. The plot builds perfectly and the love and the hate that grows in you will feel like too much. 
In my own delusion, I refused to read the last few pages just so they could not make the title come true. But, eventually I had to. And it just made me sad...and then happy. You'll see when you read it.
