God, what a heartbreaking book. Even knowing from the beginning that they both die at the end, I was still shocked when it happened. It was interesting to watch Rufus and Mateo's relationship develop over the book, each improving on the other's flaws and affecting each other in different ways. I wasn't completely sold on some of the minor character's relationships to the main ones, particularly

Rufus and Aimee's.

It felt more like we were told how they feel about each other rather than witnessing any real chemistry. That being said, my only other complaint is that the writing sometimes felt stilted and cringy, making it somewhat frustrating to read. Although I can count on one hand the amount of times that actually affected my enjoyment of the story, so it's a very minor complaint. Overall it's a great read, would highly recommend if the premise interests you at all.

I'll be honest, I don't really get the insane amounts of hype surrounding this book. I've been putting off reading it, afraid it would rip my heart out and stomp on it. But it didn't? Yeah, I felt sad for them, but nothing groundbreaking. It was a good read, but didn't really stand out (to me, at least). I'm obviously in the minority on that one, though.
