Reviews with content warning for Death - They Both Die at the End

This book is heartwarming and heartbreaking all in the same sentence. A time to reflect on what we would do with our last day on earth, yet a story of love in the most unusual of circumstances. It was a nice balance of characters and easy to read.

This book is so sad. I cried so much while I was reading. The story of Mateo and Rufus was heartbreaking.
They both die at the end. But there is someone who dies first and another who awaits death.
Eventhough the book is sad, This is a must read.

I had to take breaks reading this book, but was so glad I finished it. What a beautiful story that had me sobbing by the end.

I love a good gay romance but this one felt so forced. I did not feel any romance before the playground. It was still an interesting book but did not like the ending. Rufus’s death was disappointing.

First of all the concept of They Both Die at The End is fascinating. I know that some people are complaining that the title spoiled the ending but isn't that the point?
I enjoyed this book but I didn't really connect to the characters, this might be because I stopped reading this book for 2 days not because it was bad but because of life.
(I stopped reading the book and therefore didn't care about the characters, not the other way around)
On the positive side I think this book just put me out of my reading slump 🎉

I found the whole Delilah situation pretty frustrating. Who cares if your ex-fiancee makes fun of you check if you're really dying like wtf

Really loved this book!! I cried way more than I was expecting, but I really enjoyed it. I thought it was very reflective, and joyous, and full of heart. The structure was really fun, I really loved getting multiple perspectives and the layout of the book. Very good read.
