Obviously you know the ending, but this was still so heartwarming and there was a mystery in terms of how things would play out. My main complaints are that some of the writing style bothered me and there were a few loose ends I would have liked resolved. The takeaway message also felt a bit predictable, but it was an enjoyable read overall.

I enjoyed it, but maybe not as much as I was expecting, considering the amount of hype around it. I think the concept is really interesting, analyzing how people react to knowing that today is when they die. The way the two main characters interacted, despite how different they were, was interesting.
I would recommend giving it a go. I plan to read the sequel.

I loved it. I loved it so much. But, damn, I was not ready for it to emotionally destroy me like it did... Sure, I knew it would be sad; hell, the title literally tells you they die! But this was a whole new level. This book hit me like an emotional wrecking ball, and shook my world...
I want to read it again for the first time a million times over. I loved the characters, the concept, the writing. But most of all, I loved the story of grief and walking around with death looming over you.
