This book really encourages you to think differently about life and be more self aware with how you live your life. It encourages you to live life fully or at least live life the way you want to and disregard fear.

They Both Die at the End is a masterclass in world building and detail work, and the format really, really works. definitely not a lighthearted book by any means (shocking, i know, for a book with this title), but there’s a lot of joy and life packed into these pages.

My favourite book of the year so far - I got instantly attached to the characters and enjoyed the journey we went on. I sobbed multiple times but also felt the love and hope pour from the pages despite the bleak outcome, A true emotional masterpiece.

You know that feeling of emptiness that you just can’t satisfy? Yeah, that’s how I felt after finishing this book. I can’t be mad though, I did this to myself. I was the one who bought the book, opened it, and read past the first 100 pages. 

It’s beautiful. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve cried this much since reading Thirteen Reasons Why. It’s not graphic like it but it’s written beautifully and articulately that you can’t help but cry because of its wonder. I swear, 80 years from now, they have to consider this a classic. It deserves to be read over and over again. 

There is diversity. SO MUCH diversity. Characters from different backgrounds, races, and sexual orientations. It was more realistic and a breath of fresh air to read a sentence that sounded like “He was mad brave.” It was new and enlightening for me. 

This book is filled to the brim with beautiful quotes. I could probably write an entire essay about all the quotes I snapped a photo of from the pages. My phone gallery is 40% this book. 

I don’t just recommend for you to read “They Both Die At The End,” I’m BEGGING you to read it.
