This book is one of the saddest and at the same time most hopeful books I have ever read. It tackles the issue of dealing with knowing the death of a close person or even yourself will occur and how to live your life to the fullest, not only when you know it's about the end. It shows in a heartbreaking and beautiful way how important it is to take control of your own life, be the captain of your own ship if you will. For that it not only uses the two main characters but also the people surrounding them and learning the same lesson. They are included in the story with an amazing  thoughtfulness and their lifes are tied into each other which shows how close and similar we can be to someone without realizing. This book will forever remain in my heart and I am so thankful the author wrote this prequel.

I really loved the first book when I read it last year, but sadly this one didn’t blew me away. 

I do think Silvera’s language is quite easy which is something I liked last time, but now it just felt flat (?). I think the characters speech and actions feels unreal, but I do really like the plot and the thing with one of them dying. 

I just had higher expectations and they weren’t meet.

I have both books from “the infinity son” which I’m planning to read but be will see. 

Took me 9 hours and 48 minutes

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  

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