They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
3.0

i thought the concept of this book was truly so interesting, but the execution was lacking. 

since this book focused solely on one day, i think adding more detail into the day, including doing a better job showcasing characters emotions, was a must - and it simply was not done well. 

i understand rufus is a 17 year old boy, but using “mad” that much is simply unacceptable from any person at any age. towards the end i wanted to smack him every time he said or thought it. 

i do think you can fall in love with someone in 24 hours, but i do not think these characters could’ve done that. the romance at the end was simply unconvincing and felt silly and forced. 

overall, the book was alright.
