Literally bawled my eyes out like a freaking baby! First time crying in my dorm while my roommate was there. This book with claw out your heart and replace it with its own. 

I only wish we were able to learn how deathcast works. I feel like the way this was written where it tried to involve you in the creation of deathcast but still keep you separate didn’t work. It made me think that Adam Silvera doesn’t actually know how deathcast is supposed to work.

I loved this book. Just as heart wrenching as “They both die at the end”. You find yourself wishing that the title is wrong and that the death call is also wrong. But it isn’t it’s very right. And my heart is in pieces.

I’m baffled. Once again Adam has brought me to tears, broken my heart and then glued it back together with a beautiful ending. I definitely didn’t see it all coming. Especially everything with Paz. I don’t know what to say honestly. It’s all just wow. I think I like this one better than Tbdate honestly. This one feels less rushed. Both are still super good tho. I really enjoyed making connections between the books and seeing their relationship evolve. The characters are so lovable (well all except one person but you’ll see that when you read it). It makes me happy to see that even people that didn’t enjoy Tbdate are enjoying this one. Personally I’ve enjoyed both and I’m excited for the third book!
