They Both Die at the End is a masterclass in world building and detail work, and the format really, really works. definitely not a lighthearted book by any means (shocking, i know, for a book with this title), but there’s a lot of joy and life packed into these pages.

This is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I experienced every emotion while reading it. I was hesitant to read it given the title, but I can’t recommend this one enough.

This is easily one of my favorite books. I found it so easy to read and so easy to dive into. 

I loved how the main characters, Mateo and Rufus where completely different from each other but found hope and a chance in one another. They both helped each other in their own ways. I loved them both so much.  

<The ending broke my heart. Apart of me was wishing that they would prove the system wrong and get out safely and still alive. I hoped that they would grow old together. I knew it wasn’t going to happen but I really did wish for it. I think that’s what made the ending sadder> 

I feel like a lot of people misinterpreted the meaning of the book but from my understanding it’s about not being able to do everything in one day. It’s about not being able to live your life in a single day because there isn’t much time. So instead of living in fear you need to get out there and live because you don’t know when it’ll be your last. 
I think this book carries a big meaning behind it. 

Overall I found this book so beautiful and the language was amazing as well. I felt like I was listening to two teenage boys talk not two boys talk as if they are adults. They sounded like normal teenage boys  as there wasn’t this formality to it which made my love for this book grow.

Loved, loved, loved this book ! The characters are adorable, I rooted for them all along. I loved how they all evolved in their own way, how their relationship developed, etc. The writing style is crystal clear and enjoyable. I loved the fact that the author lets us know (or think...) that they will both die at the end, but he manages to keep the suspense until the last minute. It kept me on my toes the whole time, wondering if and how things would unfold, hoping they would beat the prophecy. 
The book also touches on the philosophical aspects of our personal relationship with death, it made me wonder how I would react to such news, if such a technology is desirable in our society, and what its implications might be, etc... Really enjoyable experience, I would highly recommend ! 
The only thing I regret is that it is a little to predictable and sometimes a little forced - I'm not talking about the ending but the relationships between the different secondary characters and their respective roles in the story.

 “...stories can make someone immortal as long as someone else is willing to listen.” 

This book was such a cute and fast-paced read, I love how it talks about death and the afterlife, different viewpoints, and how through it all both the boys live their last day to the fullest. It's the kind of story you read late at night with a warm drink. It had well-written main and side characters and was a fun read.

That being said it isn't really worth all the hype, it didn't break me and have me sobbing like I expected it to, it was great at the start but as it progressed It felt like a drag and their relationship felt unnatural and like they would be better off as friends. 

This also has some of the cutest fanart out there so that is a MAJOR bonus.
