It was okay. But the there were scenes that actually made me sad
3.5 starsMaybe it's better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs. They both Die at the End is my very first Adam Silvera books and I really liked it. The concept was interesting. Essentially, it follows two boys Mateo and Rufus where they both find out that they're going to die on that day by Deathcast and so they join the Last friend App and eventually they find each other. The relationship between Mateo and Rufus was amazing, I loved it so much. I also love the diversity of these two characters. Mateo is gay and Rufus is bisexual and their character development is just so lovely, I love these two so much. The writing style was grippig and I loved how Silvera wrote in a way which portrayed so much emotion within the characters. The only aspect that bothered me was the insight of the side characters. The only made the the book a bit more slow-paced, I did like the POV's of the Pluto boys but the rest didn't do much for me. To be completely honest, I think I have a heart as cold as stone, but I didn't cry.... not one tear drop. Yes, it was heart-wrenching but there were no tears. The ending was so abrupt, but I do kind of know the idea of what the ending was going to be without it being fully told. Overall, I enjoyed reading this book and everything about it was beautiful. I'm looking forward to reading more of Adam Silvera books.
sinceramente não esperava que eu ia me conectar desse jeito após reler esse livro de novo. desde a primeira vez que eu li lá em 2022 se tornou um dos meus favoritos e agora, 4 anos depois, eu relembrei o motivo desse livro ser um dos meus favoritos da vida. é aquele tipo de livro que te dá vários tapas na cara e te faz enxergar a vida de uma maneira completamente diferente, o Adam Silvera sabia exatamente o que tava fazendo quando escreveu esse livro.\nChorei de novo? com certeza absoluta. Meus meninos Mateo e Rufus sempre estarão no meu coração. 🥺💙
