My main criticism is that the ending of the book was extremely abrupt, and we didn't get closure on any of our minor storylines.
Overall, I really enjoyed it.

The book obviously discusses death (and what it means to really live) for, essentially, the entirety of the text. There are some minor scenes referencing the potential triggers I tagged above but I didn't find it to be gory or gruesome or overly dark.glitzi0's review against another edition

Spoiler
the fact mateo dies due to the stove after he's previously mentioned felt flat to me . I loved the use of everything that was previously mentioned beforehand , but the fact that out of the two *he* was the one to die because of it didn't feel right .Spoiler
overall I loved the characters we got to meet and the plot overall , it just fell flat with very certain but limited points .

I would have liked to have closure for other characters such as Delilah. I really liked how you couldn’t tell how they died until it happened - there were lots of possibilities which kept you guessing. I also enjoyed how everyone was so interconnected even if they didn’t realize it.
