This book follows Rufus and Mateo who both receive a call to say that they have 24 hours to live. It is told from a dual perspective and also includes a few other characters' perspectives.

This book was incredible! Incredibly emotional. I gave this book 5/5 stars. (Let me know how you choose star ratings - I feel like I am giving EVERY book 5/5 stars! Maybe I'm only reading amazing books)
I loved the voices of the narrators and how Rufus and Mateo were so defined as characters.
The relationship between these two boys/teenagers starts as a friendship and the way it develops is so interesting. It seems so natural for them to learn so much about each other in a short space of time compared to their closest friends.
The development of the other 'side' characters is great too because we learn about their backgrounds and their motives for their actions. They aren't just 'side' characters, we (at least I) would love to read more about each of these characters - Amy Du Bois, Peck (even though he makes me so angry!!), The Plutos, Lydia, etc.
I think this book is character driven which I enjoyed and I was on edge the whole time to know how Rufus and Mateo would die and whether the title was going to be misleading or not. It's safe to say, my heart broke within the last few chapters but I fully understand why the events happened and it didn't go in the direction I'd predicted for myself.
