They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

I'm torn! I thought for most of this that I would just write that I hated this. I continue to think the premise is the stupidest thing ever (who would've ever thought this was a good idea to implement in the world?)

the ending, however, killed me. I cried and I got chills.
I did genuinely believe in Mateo and Rufus's love and really felt for them.
so maybe I liked this. I wouldn't read something else set in this fictional world, but maybe I liked this one.

aww I wish I enjoyed this more. I do and I appreciate the kind of book it is and the feelings that were poured into it. the writing is just not something I jive with, but beautiful all the same

to come out is such a simple concept, but I didn't really think about it as such until I first read the Hope Speech in early 2020

of regardless what happens upon coming out, it being so vastly more important than the opinions of people who don't want that from you. it really changed my view on it

"I hope boys will carry on falling in love with boys and girls with girls, and they'll find no way to change that."

last day of the year, rereading this in my bath, feeling grateful and sad to be gay all at once

intensely melodramatic but it becomes a bit charming, or maybe I just got used to it
