Me with only about thirty pages left: “Oh maybe this book won’t make me cry.”

Me not even ten or so pages later: *balling my eyes out for the rest of the book*

READ THIS BOOK. DO IT. Of course if constant mentions of death is triggering for you, then don’t read it. I keep thinking about the book and just want to cry 😭

Dear Author:

Just because your audience target is 13-14 years old doesn't mean you need to write as if you are also that age.
The audience is aware your characters are dying and do not need you to remind them every three sentences.
Random quotes from famous people that don't specifically relate to your characters doesn't make your book deep.
There is no need to recap song lyrics from every song. This isn't fanficton.

The premise had potential, but the execution was poor; which was further emphasized by the juvenility of the writing style. Unfortunately, the characters weren't likable enough to pull you through.

I loved reading the slow build from strangers to friends from the beginning of this book to the end. I found Mateo and Rufus to be fun and scared and likeable because they were human. I work in education, so I interreact with kids their age on a daily basis, so I spent the whole book rooting for them (even though I shouldn't have), and I of course was hurt in the end. A wonderful read!

You wanted a book to break your heart, right? Cool. Today on #PrideSFF #book review, we've got "They Both Die at the End" by Adam Silvera.

In the near future, you receive a notification the day you die. Two queer teens both receive their notifications the same day and decide to meet up and spent their last day together. It's all about trauma, found family, fear and hope, and living. It's one of those books that has stuck with me, popping up in odd moments in my head. It's solidly YA.
