Readers say *They Both Die at the End* by Adam Silvera is praised for its emotional character development, unique narrative with multiple perspectives...
(ps it took me a few days before I could write this review because every time I thought of the book I would start crying all over again be careful with this book)
WOW! Yes you heard me right, some book just do not need long reviews to describe how you feel about it, just a simple WOW says it all. As the title suggest, you know that 2 people are going to die in the end but still you are hoping, praying and convincing yourself for a happy or different ending as you go deeper not just into the book but also deeper in the lives of the 2 characters Mateo and Rufus.
For me personally the end was something I totally did not see coming though I knew it was going to be sad but I still did not expect it to hit me right in the face when I wishing for something happy to happen. Author Adam Silvera sure is a clever writer. The end was there right through in front of my very eyes but yet so difficult to spot.
The book was also very thought provoking, it made me think of how I would love to spend my last day if I received such an alert?
Everyone should atleast read this book once.
