This book is literally an example of wattpad writers making it big!!! Overall I enjoyed the book and all the bickering that went on around Hadley and Archer. This book brings light to emotions and behavior that sometimes aren't shown because they happen mentally, as well as shows signs of depression without it being the main focus of the book. Literally made me get all teary eyed when Death told Hadley that Archer knew he cared about her on day two like ughh my heartstrings

Oh, what a brilliant premise, what a fascinating topic, and what an ultimately mediocre book, I am sad to say.
 
Death was a character! There was another villain! And they both felt like caricatures and left more unresolved questions. I couldn't suspend disbelief because I was too busy saying "Really?" and pointing out holes.
 
I really disliked Hadley. She had parent problems, but I felt like these and the way that she just adopted Archer's family, though sweet, felt manipulative even to me. I wish she had had more of her own personality, or had maintained her old friendships, or had any attribute other than being a vessel for the story to happen.
 
I am extremely critical of books dealing with mental illness these days, having concluded that the simple addition of resources can go a far way. I felt like this treatment was very superficial, and like there was no real look into the deeper implications of Archer's mental health and bigger solutions. Boy meets girl, boy falls in love, everything's great again. Yay.
 
Though I really wish I could, I cannot honestly recommend this book.
 
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Begun and done in the space of a day (or so), but with a message to last a lifetime.

What would YOU do if Death sat down with you for a cup of joe talking about propositions and the opportunity to save a life ended too soon? Would you ask 'where do I sign' or would you shy away? It wasn't a question for Hadley, despite not really being acquainted with the young man in question. She and Archer had crossed paths once-upon-a-time, but they ran in different social circles, and we all know how high school goes. It doesn't stop her from being any less human and feeling that what transpired was wrong. It doesn't make him any less human that he fell victim to his own weakness when all else seemed lost. Over the course of the next (or rather previous) 27 days, they'll get to know each other better than anyone else knows them...and barely scratch the surface. Will it be enough to change the path of a mind already set? You'll have to read it to see, but trust me when I say, the message is clear...the smallest act of human kindness, the most insignificant seeming of actions we take to reach out to someone today, can actually change their tomorrow.

So grab copy and get cozy in your favorite reading spot. Prepare to meet our leads, their families, and all the drama a life can offer...plus a little from the other side of that coin.

This book made me laugh, cry, and smile. I love it when I find books that allows me to experience multiple emotions. I think an author is truly gifted when they are capable of doing that to their readers. It gave off that "feel good" feeling at the end. ( )
