This is a beautiful story about two young men who meet on the day they know they are going to die.  They help each other to grow as people.  It's sad but heartwarming to feel how they do knowing that it's the last day they have so they might as well spend it in positive ways

I sort of understand the idea behind putting in snippets of other people's stories, but I honestly just wanted to get back to Matteo and Rufus everytime we moved away from them. I couldn't care less about Delilah and Victor and that random actor. 

I also wasn't a huge fan of the way the main characters spoke/thought in a *youthy* way - it felt a lot like "hello fellow kids". 

But by the end this didn't seem to matter so much. A great story.

I absolutely loved the humor in this book (esp the dark flavored variety). It was sewn in well to help break up the emotional stuff (and was very much appreciated). Here’s an example that made me cackle:

This brunette girl, mad pretty, is bawling when a guy advances on her with some tired-ass pickup line (“Maybe you’ll live to see another day with some Vitamin Me in your system.”)

As a person with a monster truck of anxiety, I very much related to Matteo. Most of the passages I highlighted to save are from his POV. I enjoyed watching him as the story progressed. 

The only complaint I can think of is my disappointment that Final Destination was not mentioned ONCE during this entire book, when it had been set up so perfectly so many times. But as I was writing this I had the panicky thought that kids today might not even know what that movie is, which is horrifying 

I know there’s a prequel that came after this, and just discovered there’s a book 2 coming out next year. I obviously don’t know what happens in those so I don’t know if this gets answered, but I want another book to come out where you find out there’s some big nefarious conspiracy to how Death-Cast got started, and how people deal with finding it out/having to get it shut down/something like that. Buuut that’s my love of ominous horror/thrillers bleeding into this world lol

I think this one just wasn’t for me. Maybe listening to it on audiobook was distracting, as there are three different narrators. I also didn’t love the chapters where we jumped around to other characters. This issue could have also been that I read this because someone recommended it after I asked for romance novel recs, and I think romance isn’t the driving force here. Overall it was sweet and sad.
