Enjoyed They Both Die At The End when I was a bit younger - this prequel did the job. Enjoyable enough plot, not great writing. I liked all the fun tie-ins between characters though that always makes me go hehehe

This was good, however it felt too forced and a little too similar to the first book. I think the first book was great, as it was heartbreaking, inspiring, and a beautiful love story. This was all of those things too, but it felt just too similar to the first book. The timeline was a little confusing, there were some references to pup culture during the 2012-2014 tie period but it was supposed to be set in 2010. Also, something similar to the first book, there were SO MANY side characters with their own chapters from their pov and it became difficult to keep up. There should have been less side character pov chapters. We do get cameos and more info/backstory about Rafael and Mateo from the original book. We also get more info about the beginning of “Death cast”, but it’s still pretty unclear about how or why it works. I would like to read how death cast works or more about how Joaquin Rosa came up with it. I’d say this was good, but it wasn’t really necessary or as groundbreaking as the first book. 

Age rating: 14+ (grief, very unnecessarily large amount of foul language, etc.)

Massive trigger warning for 9/11!!! There was so much mentioning of this in detail, so be warned about that!

I’m baffled. Once again Adam has brought me to tears, broken my heart and then glued it back together with a beautiful ending. I definitely didn’t see it all coming. Especially everything with Paz. I don’t know what to say honestly. It’s all just wow. I think I like this one better than Tbdate honestly. This one feels less rushed. Both are still super good tho. I really enjoyed making connections between the books and seeing their relationship evolve. The characters are so lovable (well all except one person but you’ll see that when you read it). It makes me happy to see that even people that didn’t enjoy Tbdate are enjoying this one. Personally I’ve enjoyed both and I’m excited for the third book!
