Every character just seems to be okay with the whole dying today premise without trying to fight it. And while the book was very quick and easy to read, it did seem to drag on and on for a bit and add some non-essential characters/story line that I really did not care about.
While it was not terrible, the story was just disappointing for me.
It is a young adult genre book about dying. The plotline is interesting.
The book is about a thing called Death-Cast which calls you 24 hours before you are going to die to let you know that you're going to die. You have 24 hours to get and do everything that you want to do. How awful is that? There's an app called Last Friend that brings together those who are dying. I absolutely loved the main characters RUFUS and MATEO and their description. Rufus and Mateo, who both got a call from Death-Cast meet through this app and the book is all about their last 24 hours.
