I didn't believe the book title and look were it got me :(

Woah, this was a ride.. I love Mateo and Rufus!! Their relationship was soooo greatly written. I loved the plot and concept as well, super interesting.

Oh lord, the ending broke me. I felt so hopeless and desperate when the ending came near. WTF.
Why didn't I believe the title right away? That They Both Die At The End? I tried to believe that it was just a title - foolish brain. Hope is a cruel drug, I just remember closing the book in shock, I couldn't believe what I was witnessing.

This book did a really good job of balancing the heaviness of its material with the need to tell a story that wouldn’t stay mired in existential dread. i appreciate that author wrote from Mateo’s and Rufus’ point of view and did so with distinct characterization. i admire as well how fleshed out all of the non main character felt as well. the story felt like a realistic depiction of what might go down in a world where Death-cast existed. At times, i found the theme being reiterated with slightly different phrasing that didn’t add to the story. i also feel that some people may read this story and not get the message the author intended. it’s a complicated topic, and I am glad someone made an attempt to address it through fiction.
