Unforgettable

I stayed up listening until 3am because I had to know the ending. Also Robbie Daymond is fantastic as the voice of Rufus

Amazing!

Beautiful and terrifying story. So clever and thought provoking. You felt a part of the main character’s every moment through fantastic story telling and narration and the sub characters connection really demonstrated ‘the butterfly effect’. I already want to read it again and then write a thesis on it!!

difficult to understand performance

the actors/narrators for this audiobook was not very good at distinguishing between internal thoughts and dialogue. At times it was impossible to tell if the passage I had just heard was something the character had thought or had actually said aloud. It was especially bad for Mateo

Amazing story

Could not put it down. Got me thinking about how I live my life. What an inspiration to live each day like it was the last.

Makes you think

One element of this book that I always came back to, was whether the advancements in technology in part helps steer the protagonists towards their deaths. While I liked the book, I didn’t LOVE it.

Not your usual storyline

The book was good although it was really difficult to distinguish between the voices at times

A lightness of being

I think this book is a great example that:
- Beautiful writing doesn’t have to be flowery or overly-descriptive.
- A book can be meaningful and reflective but still light and fun.
- something doesn’t have to be pretentious to be poetic.
The narration reflects this balance seamlessly.
I guess it was just really good to spend time reflecting on the aspects of death and mortality in a way the had lightness of being.
Here’s a question for y’all: What do you think is the role of self-fulfilling prophecy?

Beautiful, touching and so eye-opening!!

I loved everything about this book! From the portrayal of the characters, to all the snippets in between about different characters that came in and out of Mateo and Rufus’s End Day. The amazing and tragic stories about their best friends and families. All of it was so awesome and I can’t wait to read another one of Adam Silvera’s books!! This was 100% worth staying up all night to listen to and read along with the psychical copy of the book.
