Just started this book, I can't wait to see what the book has in store. I am a teacher on Thanksgiving break so I should have this finished shortly.
I just finished the book. It wasnt my favorite, I rated it 3 stars. I liked how the author connected all the characters in the story. It is interesting to see how these characters' decisions built upon the story line.
Seems like so long since I read the first book. Part one introduces our key characters and explains how they come to meet. Interesting to see the founder of Death Cast in a more personal way.
Sorry im late. Life has turned crazy but hoping to get to this, this weekend 😊
Loved the first part showing how they meet and the intricacies of the lives that mix with theirs.
It might just be because I’m so busy and not really getting prolonged reading time but this isn’t quite working for me. They’re cute together but it all seems rather unnecessary.
Third quarter. The day of firsts is entertaining but it feels like certain aspects of the story are sidelined to focus on the romance that all seems very quick and exaggerated.
Finished. Review on home page. Some nice moments but it didn’t seem to have quite the impact as I was expecting.
I'm so sorry I'm so late to this but I've just finished my Iron Flame listen so will start on the audio for this one tomorrow and catch up with your thoughts then :)
Okay, I'm just starting this one :) I sobbed my heart out reading They Both Die at the End so interested to see how I'll find this book now I know the concept of the series.

I'm interested but not invested in the lives of these characters.

I gave They Both Die at the End 5 stars, when I first read it, but am not feeling the same way about this at all. I was going to reread that book after this one but am unsure if I want to tarnish my memory of it as I'm not fully engaged, so far.

It's not really giving me anything I haven't already got from the previous book written in this world, though.
I'm about half way through now and going to leave my read there. This isn't gripping me like I want it too.
It’s the night before Death-Cast goes live, and there’s one question on everyone’s mind: Can Death-Cast actually predict when someone will die, or is it just an elaborate hoax?
Orion Pagan has waited years for someone to tell him that he’s going to die. He has a serious heart condition, and he signed up for Death-Cast so he could know what’s coming.
Valentino Prince is restarting his life in New York. He has a long and promising future ahead and he only registered for Death-Cast after his twin sister nearly died in a car accident.
Orion and Valentino cross paths in Times Square and immediately feel a deep connection. But when the first round of End Day calls goes out, their lives are changed forever—one of them receives a call, and the other doesn’t. Though neither boy is certain how the day will end, they know they want to spend it together…even if that means their goodbye will be heartbreaking.
Told with acclaimed author Adam Silvera’s signature bittersweet touch, this story celebrates the lasting impact that people have on each other and proves that life is always worth living to the fullest.
