They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
4.0
Tearful and moving.
Although the beginning (Part One) dragged a little, this reading was definitely worth it! It warmed and broke my heart all at the same time.
Together, Rufus and Mateo are two beautiful characters who complement each other, lovable characters who made me laugh, think and cry. Even though the ending is bitter (bittersweet, maybe?), we all knew how this would end, so I think it unfold in the most beautiful way possible. For this reason, I forced myself to slow down my reading pace towards the final chapters, so they wouldn't die, so they could be happy a little longer. Foolish, I know, but it translates how wonderful this book was.
All the characters were very natural and relatable, with very distinct voices, although some dialogs, the most "philosophical" ones, seemed a little forced and out of place. Nevertheless, this all contributed to the message of the book. Even those side stories that I usually find unnecessary added up nicely and helped the reader to understand Death-Cast and have a better insight of this world.
Overall, an emotional and touching adventure, one I'll surely revisit later on.
