It's me; not you. I try to enjoy YA, I really do, but it rarely works for me. Couple YA with a dystopian setting, and I get the icks pretty quickly. I am all about tone and how a book makes me feel. I need warmth, and dystopian usually makes me feel cold. Plus, I made it through the teen years myself and my children and have no desire to return to the the painful angst of that time. That said, They Both Die at the End is a perfectly well-written book with an interesting premise. If you enjoy dystopian YA it may be a good choice for you, it just wasn't a book for me.  Read if you enjoy: dystopian settings, young adult, books that take place in one day
