“Having the chance to say goodbye is an incredible opportunity, but isn’t that time better spent actually living?”

Reading this book was like having someone reach into my chest very slowly, take hold of my heart, and (equally agonizingly slowly) tear it out of my body. But that someone is not a laughing jerk. That someone is just death. Cause dying really sucks. And this book doesn’t try to cheat that. Death really, really sucks but it is inevitable for every creature on this earth that lives.

There were so many moments in this book, so many messages, and I may come back and try to write a more thorough review to make sense of it all or talk about deeper meanings and insights in this work, but the messages are really quite clear, and right there for you to read and think about.

Life doesn’t have to be something you can show off, or something Pinterest worthy, or something that solves world hunger or whatever. Life can be just a day that you make the most of, and that’s what this book did.

The message is simple, really, and one everyone needs, before their time runs out, too.

Live. Just live.

Other gems of the book:
* pure gold characters that think deeply
* fluffy, genuine, heartwarming gay romance
* flashes to other characters that are all connected to the MCs in some way
* latinx rep!
* anxiety rep (Mateo, you have my whole heart)
