"Life shouldn't he about to end befor someone begins living." (pg. 419)

ADAM SILVERA!!! He's done it again. Never have I cried so much over a book series—makes sense because no other book series I've read has centered around death but I digress. I will admit, I was much more attached to Rufus and Mateo (Roof will always be my favorite character w/n this duology)

but that doesn't mean I didn't cry over Valentino’s death.

I think I cried less because it's a more beautiful and hopeful ending than TBDATE.

While Valentino dies, Orion gets to live on with Valentino’s heart.

As much as I hate Mr. Silvera for making me cry, all in all, I enjoyed this book.

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.
