They Both Die at the End Reviews

3.5
Loudly Crying Face“TBDATE was my first introduction to Adam Silvera, and it did not disappoint. I was scared that, because this book originally blew up on TikTok, as some said, it would be unreadable at all. Thank God I was wrong. By the end of the book, I was emotionally attached to the main characters, so that although I already have the second book, I just can't get myself to start reading it. I'm still trying to recover from the last part of the first book with how everything came to be. If someone told me at the beginning that they would die of THOSE reasons, I wouldn't believe them. I related to the characters, especially Rufus, as a bisexual man. I'm glad that they were able to spend their End Day with lots of smiles and laughter with their friends, and I'm even more glad that even in the little time Mateo and Rufus had, they were able to have a beautiful friendship. Truly, till death do they part. I hope wherever they are, they are singing "American Pie" and eating Rufus' usual at a diner. 💕”
