They Both Die At The End by Adam Silvera
5.0
This is an incredibly raw and emotionally draining read. I really enjoyed the writing style, it was natural and casual and the whole narrative made the story personal and realistic. It’s amazing how he managed to make such likeable and developed characters in such a short space of time. I was completely invested in the characters and rooting with all my heart for them. I love Mateo and Rufus and I would go to the ends of the earth for these two.
It was hard to read for me. It’s a very dark book that focuses on a lot of difficult topics, which is great to see in a YA book. The story is soul shattering, more so than other books (that weren’t about a dog) have been for me. I genuinely don’t think I could read another Adam Silvera book that features death after this. Though, weirdly, I absolutely want to re-read this story. It’s inspiring in a very terrifying way. Rather than a gentle reminder to appreciate life, it feels like a punch to the face with someone shouting at you to get your ass in gear. I think this is a very important YA book and I think it’s one that will stick in my memory for many years.
