Heartbreakingly beautiful
Pamela M. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book is so so underrated. Mateo and Rufus are just perfect for each other in every single way and I really loved the last day to live dynamic of the story. It was heartbreakingly sad but it gives you ALL the feels. You will cry. #SummerReading

Thought-provoking concept
Caitlin V. - 6 years 4 months agoThis book really makes you think - would you rather know the day that you're going to die or would you prefer to be oblivious? It was very entertaining and unique. I ended up liking Mateo's perspective much more than Rufus's, but I found their relationship very endearing. I just found the language of Rufus's parts somewhat annoying, maybe since I was listening to this as an audiobook. In the end, I thought it was a super cool idea for a story. #SummerReading

Spoiler alert: they do indeed die
Mega R. - 6 years 5 months agoThey Both Die at the End takes place in a world where a service informs people each morning if it will be their last day on Earth. These doomed people don't know how or when in the day they will die, but the system is never wrong. Two teenage boys connect with each other through a platform for those facing their final hours. Although you know that their perfect day and their newfound friendship will not last, you will spend the whole book, as I did, hoping they somehow make it anyway. Adam Silvera is known for his heart-wrenching portrayals of relationships, and this book is no different. It may not have a traditionally happy ending, but it's no less uplifting for that fact, as it portrays two boys living their lives to the fullest on borrowed time.
