I knew I wanted to return to this universe, but I didn't realise just how much until I started listening. Death has been on my mind in general, but this book has helped develop my thoughts more. Thank you Adam Silvera for your heartwarming (and heartbreaking..) romances, and for the bonus storylines that were as engaging as the main characters! My only complaint is that the writing is off sometimes, like it's trying to be flowery but fails to do so gracefully. Regardless, it was enjoyable!

Whew. I just finished the book and that was one of the best endings I’ve ever read. Although I found myself comparing this book to They Both Die at the End pretty often, and while I probably enjoyed that one more, this book is so much more inspiring and completely changed my perspective on life (again). It’s really one of those books that makes you sad but you’re okay with it because everything really is gonna be okay. I’m so thankful I read this  

Spoiler

and I’m ready to live for all the Valentinos that haven’t lived enough.
