I'd be lying if I said this didn't make me a little teary at the end, but to get there is a slog. The protagonists' voices aren't particularly distinct, the constant repetition of "you only live once" gets very tiresome, and the murder plotline is incredibly contrived. The compressed timeline also doesn't help matters as I was not super convinced by the central "romance" - it felt more like two individuals coincidentally chained together for the day rather than real chemistry. Honestly, I kind of preferred the side story chapters. Overall - just ok.
> No, I won't reread, and probably wouldn't recommend.
