They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
3.0

Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Whilst reading I kept thinking that this book would be amazing if it had more than a modicum of depth. Then I realised from other reviews that it's a YA novel, and then the lack of depth kind of made sense. Still though, it was all too surface level for it to really dig its way into my consciousness. 

The plot is pretty cool if you ignore the obvious causality issues, and the characters are well-formed enough to make the ending fairly poignant, but the overall feeling I was left with was one of untapped potential. I would LOVE to read the gritty, sexy, mature-audiences-only adult version of this story.
