"This was so heartbreaking 💔 the author did such a good job of developing their relationship and making the readers really care about the characters. I also loved how there wasn’t just one narrator and we got to see many characters thoughts and perspectives "

"Orion and Valentino were meant to be, so why meet on the last day they could meet? A great prequel to They Both Die at the End and reminder to live life while we have it. Recommend!"

"Just as good as the last. A story of love, heartache, and acceptance. We all value our lives, but when do we really start living it? This book shows you not to be afraid to do what you love or what you wish to see. It is an unapologetic message for the readers to start really living, enjoying the smaller things in life. We take a lot of things for granted, especially the amount of time the people around us have left. Cherish what you have, because you never know when you’ll lose it. 10/10 ❤️✨"

"The original was good but the prequel was wayyy better. It tied up loose questions and tied in the original nicely with a bow"

"This book is based off of a call and if you get the call, you’re going to die within 24 hours. Their motto is we help you live your best life while you can. (Not word for word). It’s a good book and take you on a journey of two boys who meet randomly and fall in love but of course one won’t make it. "
