this was very entertaining, but it felt a bit underwhelming in the end. i was fully expecting it not to turn supernatural, and the deaths to be easily explained (which they were) and the youtuber to have been lying, but then it happened and it felt rushed. i guess the ending was the only thing that i didn't like as much, which is unfortunate since i really liked the rest of the book.
i couldn't put it down, i kept reading it any time i could, and i enjoyed having the chapters alternating between the flight passengers and cherry. although i would've liked to see some of the stories a bit more fleshed out towards the end (mostly allegra's)

i'm debating whether to give this 4 or 5 stars, i just loved it so much. at the beginning, i wasn't feeling it; thinking it was just a bunch of spoiled rich kids throwing a party that would end up in disaster with deaths and everything. i am so glad it was nothing like that.
from the moment we start in the past with the story of how their parents met, i was enthralled! and it kept getting better and better. i didn't realize at first who the author of the book was, but i'm not surprised i ended up liking it so much
i also heard someone's adapting this for a show or movie and i am very excited to see that

i only started reading this because it was the only queer book available to read on the new portuguese library app, and i can't say i'm opposed to reading adam silvera's books since i loved the only other book i read of him. unfortunately, i was a bit disappointed with this one.
i wasn't the biggest fan of these characters, and i know they're teenagers, but griffin was ... a difficult character for me to completely like. i did cry several times, and i found this a very emotional book that forced me to think about my own grief which is something i usually try to ignore or push away.
the problem for me was the way the story was written; it felt too 'teenage-y', which, again, i understand, but i couldn't help to roll my eyes at some of the characters' actions and thoughts. and while the "dealing with death" part was very good, i didn't really care for much of the plot besides that. and this is more of a personal taste, but i don't care about established relationships, so having the main characters already together at the beginning of the history was a turn-off.
i guess i only have myself to blame, because i completely misunderstood the summary of the book and i was expecting something entirely different to play out, and so when i read this and realized what the actual story was about it fell short
