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.

I was spoiled on how Mateo died, so that kind of took it down for me, but I still really enjoyed his and Rufus's journey on their last day together and I thought their relationship was incredibly wholesome. They balanced each other in the way Rufus made Mateo more brave and Mateo made Rufus care more about everything. I think everything after Mateo's death was done so well and I just love Rufus's note to Mateo's dad. 

I adored how Rufus's Instagram pictures all had color on his last day to represent living life to the fullest. 

A very emotionally impactful read and I'm glad I finally got around to it!

The first section was really slow, but the characters grew on me quickly once they were together. The last two sections felt much faster and I actually had to pause my reading because I couldn’t see through my tears. It was a very intense cry that felt really good but it emotionally wrecked me for days (lovingly). I also read the short story about Mateo’s dad that was included in my copy, pushing through even more tears. You can kind of zone out the beginning, but I would definitely recommend if you want a good cry and some hope in humanity. Love is always inspiring, especially in cases like these.
