I was blown away by this book. At first I struggled a bit with suspension of disbelief  when it came to accepting the premise of  infallible death date prediction. Since everything else about the book’s setting was so true to reality it felt extra implausible to imagine that kind of certainty. But once I stopped trying to argue with the premise, the characters and the journey of their last day was so compelling I couldn’t put it down.

I highly recommend listening to the audiobook. The performances are masterful and really bring the characters to life.

1.0

This book had so much potential, and it is disappointing that the author does not utilize it. The characters seem to follow tropes without any real commentary on how they got there.

There were no hints, or indicators that the characters are falling in love with each other, until they kiss.  It’s like they just decided it would be a good idea out of the blue.

I’m not a fan of the writing style of the characters. “ the world is mad cruel.” It sounds like he's trying too hard to appeal to teens. 

This book does not have any real discernible climax or resolution. The events seem very random and don’t follow a theme or goal. The characters are flat and seem to make decisions to drive the plot of these random events, rather than reflect good character. 

This book will not keep you up at night. It will not make you cry. However, it is perfect for making you tired before bed.

I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.
