o início do livro é entediante, pegando impulso para uma segunda metade melhor e bem envolvente. a escrita é simples, não tão poética como gostaria que fosse em outros momentos. ainda assim, a história compensa isso.
não houveram plots ou personagens secundários de extrema relevância no livro, como a criadora do Ultimo Amigo, a celebridade vivendo seu último dia, e me pareceu que foram dedicadas páginas a eles somente para ocupar espaço.
o sistema solar de Plutão merecia um prólogo, contando como descobriram sobre a morte de Rufus, e como cada um, e também a amiga de Mateo, lidaram com suas mortes.
o autor me fez acreditar que ele é uma daquelas pessoas que se apaixona rápido, afinal, ainda bem estivessem vivendo o último dia de suas vidas, não foi um dia excepcional o bastante para justificar um amor tão rápido. não seria, independentemente de quão bom fosse. estaria tudo bem se fosse somente uma atração, que não a extravagância de um amor que não faz sentido existir.
o papel de Rufus no livro foi focado muito mais no desenvolvimento do Mateo. as questões dele foram resolvidas com tamanha rapidez que nem eram tão interessantes.
a morte de Mateo foi muito horrenda — definitivamente foi uma surpresa —, enquanto a de Rufus foi abrupta, e literalmente no final do livro.
nas notas do autor, percebe-se que eles fizeram amor, mas o livro não deixa isso explícito, ou sequer implícito. é como se não tivesse acontecido, e talvez não tenha mesmo. ou não se tornou necessário na reta final do livro, ou foi censurado por ser um livro infantojuvenil.
a história arrastada e a escrita mais simples quase fizeram deste um livro de 2 estrelas, mas o desenvolvimento surpreendente foi a redenção da obra, aumentando a nota a um 3.

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.
