"To smiling while we can"
"I kiss the guy who brought me to life on the day we're going to die"
"It'll be game over, but we won first"
I think all three of these quotes beautifully capture what the book is about! To make the most of every moment, even if you know it is possibly your last. Also YAY!! They kissed! FINALLY!! Awh this makes me happy. But also sad because they found so much happiness but are about to lose it!...
I was kind of disappointed with the ending and their deaths. So obviously Mateo first he died because of that stupid cooker!! But again if Death Cast hadn't called he would have got it fixed and may not have died!
Then Rufus' died by getting hit by a car! I think the driver of the car was Victor who was on his way to see (I forgot her name but the girl with colourful hair who interviews the famous guy who thinks her death cast call is a prank). But anyway victor is on his way to see his ex girlfriend because she just called him saying she got the call. He is speeding to see her. If she hasn't got the call, he wouldn't be speeding to see her and maybe Rufus wouldn't have died. That is the theory of moi.

And I agree with you on Mateo's death. White it was sad, it was kind of overwhelming and I just wish his last thoughts were differently. But I was kind of confused on whether or not he had died, it was just misleading because I had hope he was still alive :( but that's probably because I didn't want either of them to die!
And I didn't realize that the end was Rufus's death! I thought that it was left open ended, never saying how he dies, but omg it makes so much sense! Again, this is why I loved the POVs because they brought everything together and everyone was linked.
It was heartbreaking when Rufus was speaking to Mateo's father and left his Instagram for him. I feel like we saw him in his rawness, something we hadn't seen the entire novel. Rufus really did grow on me as a person, because even though he was guarded, he let Mateo into his life. I think they were made for each other and it was so sad that they didn't have more time together.

Awh yeah both the note on the photo Mateo leaves his dad and the Instagram page are so sweet and sad. I love that their End Day was shown in colour!
