They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

2.5

I wanted to love this book so badly but for me, it was a struggle to get through. I felt the book dragged in some places and I wish there would have been more depth in their moments they create. Instead it brushed over them, explaining in just a paragraph or two and then reciting the “live life as if it’s your last day” mantra - which I guess is the point of the book but it got repetitive to the point where I didn’t know why it was necessary. 

My saving grace for this book was the connection Mateo and Rufus brought out in each other. But the living life with regrets shadow followed their relationship even as it blossomed which I felt overtook the moment than what they were supposed to be doing - which was living… 

This was my first Adam Silvera book and it definitely won’t be my last. I’ve heard great things & am excited to read more from him! Sadly, this one didn’t tick my boxes in the way I hoped it would!
