They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
5.0
I wanted to cry over this book, I heard excellent reviews, and I hoped for a soul-wrenching sobbing fest. I got my wish, sort of; I shed a singular tear nearing the end of the book...
This book is definitely very sad and makes you wonder about how you're living your life (especially in COVID lockdown!), but it's not earth-shattering sad where you'll sob on the bathroom floor.
I read it in two sittings. Pages 1 through 100 were slow-ish but not in a boring way. I ended up stopping around page 100 because I knew I wanted to finish the rest in one sitting, and I didn't have time to finish it right there and then. I DEVOURED the rest of the book once I picked it up.
The relationships in this book are outstanding! We get small but powerful insights into so many people and get to see how their lives all connect without them ever knowing about it. I'm dying to know what happened to Delilah and Victor at the end since it's not disclosed if they make it or not. I hope they made it, got to say their goodbyes, and I love you's.
I am going to reread it sometimes during the summer. I want to annotate and tab it because I loved SO many moments but didn't want to hinder the reading experience with annotating. Maybe I'll try to aim for rereading when I'm feeling particularly sad or down in the dumps, and that'll help my tear ducts allowing the waterworks to flow.
