Amazing!

This is an amazing book! It discusses questions about life and death and what we would do if we know we are dying, or even if it is better to be unaware. It makes you think about what 'living' means and what is most important to you. It asks questions such as "what does life mean?" and "is there life after death?" and makes you ask yourself, "when hard times come, how do I get through it?". 10/10, would recommend to anyone who likes books with thought provoking themes and controversial questions.

PHENOMENAL

This book was an emotional rollercoaster, but one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. It does include some swearing, as well as mature themes (regarding violence as well as thoughts about mortality and death) but it’s nothing too bad or gory.

So good

I thought the title was a twisted joke for the end where you sigh and go "Oh man, death was a metaphor and we get to be happy" but no, they both die at the end. That aside there is belief mentions of sex and drugs but nothing worse then preteens are talking about with their peers anyway. The book was moving and about making the most of what you have left in the most real way possible, I truly couldn't put it down. + For being poc centered and lbgt+ positive.

Great book, highly recommend

I love this book to pieces. Great message, heartwarming, and got me sobbing at the end. I honestly think any age would be able to handle this, but 11 years would be the best age for the reader to truly understand the book and be invested.
