Deeply heart wrenching but uplifting

If you are asking yourself whether you should read a book you already know the ending to, the answer is YES! Heartbreaking yet beautiful and poignant, this book will inspire you to live your best life.

In the not so distant future, a midnight call from a service called Death Cast will politely inform you that you are going to die that day. Not when precisely, or why or how - but it WILL happen and there is nothing you can do to avoid it. Mateo and Rufus are teenage boys who receive just such a call and in an intricate web of connecting characters, they set about to make their last 24 hours count.

Fantastic performances from all the actors and one of the best books I've listened to on Audible.

Love

Every life is intertwined and connected.
I love the compassion and empathy displayed by the main characters.
The purest art of friendship and love. To push yourself to be better, take risks. To live!

Surprisingly good listen

the story starts a little slow as you begin to get your head around each character but a once you understand the general idea of "the End" it becomes a sweet tale of two people brought together by chance. You get to also hear of others who are in a similar position and even though they are not the main focus you grow fond of them, if even for a brief moment. Fully enjoyed it up until the end and although left with wanting to know exactly what happens next, the author left a good cliffhanger that is up to interpretation of how it could have ended for our protagonist. A 100% must listen for sure

I read the book first.

I listened after reading the book first and enjoyed it just as much! The narration and cast read it so well and loved hearing Rufus and Mateo come to life, a heartbreaking amazing story and I cried cried cried.

Heart: warming and breaking

t's an intriguing exploration of how society would turn death into a commodity/experience if it was trendy rather than a taboo. I loved the way all the characters were interwoven throughout the story. It's heavy at times, since our characters are constantly grappling with their inevitable end, but within that there's a lot of sweetness. Massive shout out to Mateo's reader, his interpretation of female characters was the best I've ever heard in an audiobook read by a man.

Nice

I enjoyed the idea of this book, but I feel like I needed to know why an app that told people they were going to die existed..I think that this would have put the story into context better.

The characters were good and well described. Narration was excellent with clear differences in character voices.

Liked the concept as a whole, but felt a bit like something was missing for me. Maybe as it is aimed at young adults and I’m a bit older 🙈.

Pretty easy listening and I didn’t want them to die at the end!

Boring book

I found it a bit boring and depressing book. Narration was really good though so I finished it. I just had to know why it was popular and just didn’t get it. There’s just not much to the plot at all. The only thing that kept me going is finding out how they’re going to dye… if you like wishy washy, centimental stuff and need a carpe diem reminder then go for it…
And btw the romance was rubbish, did not feel the connection. The first kiss was underwhelming
