When you finish a book about death and the characters actually DIE!??!
Both are a bundle of sunshine and kindness with a covering of anxiety

so I recently read “they both die at the end”
I finished they both died at the end last night.
Now that we're all on the same page and understand the level of my emotional trauma :)
There was a moment, when we read from the perspective of Andrea Donahue (Chapter 14) early on in the book, and in this chapter she is talking about how she rushed through her names today and hopes she dosen't get audited and have her calls reviewed tonight. And God knows, I spent the rest of the book thinking she had made a mistake. That Mateo Torez was not going to die because some lady who hated her job, didn't care enough to make sure she did it right. That Rufus was going to show him how to break out and the importance of living and Rufus would die but Mateo would live on for both of them--
Of course, it was never hinted at again and my hope wavered but it was always there. And yet, when it happened-- or rather didn't? Good God, it hurt like hell.
They Both Die At The End
Can we just take a moment to appreciate Adam Silvera? Like, this author has guts to throw this book out to us, like, even though the tittle says it all, I feel like a few of us who read the book were actually hoping they wouldn’t die. I also feel like a lot of people won’t read this book because of the tittle, but honestly I’ve never finished a book over 300 pages under 2 days. Anyways I just finished it about 20 minutes ago, and I’m actually at peace with how it ended. I hope Rufus and Mateo find each other again, and get to have the time they didn’t have before to fully all in love. So yeah, great book 9/10, I’m terrible at book reviews, but this is what I wanted to do with this blog in the first place so, oh well.
Oh and also the way music and love is just represented is amazing
It fucks me up so badly, the foreshadowing was there all along and even multiple times, but I still couldn't see it and then at the end it hit me like a truck 😭
The reason why Mateo and Rufus lived that long is because they found each other. Rufus pulled Mateo out of his house and hence was the reason why Mateo was away from the stove for so long and Mateo always made sure they crossed the road safely. Also, don’t forget that they both died when the other one wasn’t there to see it.

The words are helpless
Mateo and Rufus at the club and singing American Pie..
Just finished they both die at the end and I have to say it
Rufus is a dogs name
I JUST GOT DONE READING THEY BOTH DIE IN THE END BY ADAM SILVERA AND I LITERALLY DONT KNOW WHAT I FUCKING EXPECTED BUT I DIDNT EXPECT TO BE CRYING LIKE T H I S. MATEO AND RUFUS DESERVED BETTER THATS ALL I GOTTA SAY.
They both die at the end spoilers uwu
I just cant stop thinking about Mateo he must have felt so fucking bad as soon as he realized what he did. I'd love to think he wasn't panicking about Rufus in his final moments (for his own sake) but I just can't get it out of my head that maybe all he was thinking was that he's the reason they died.

I cannot stop thinking about Mateo and Rufus ffs. I've been avoiding my kitchen / making tea bc it HURTS OK MATEO WAS RLLY JUST TRYING TO DO SOMETHING NICE AND HE D I E D. He is the purest boy ever. Neither of them deserved to die but Mateo especially didnt. Also I can't stop thinking about how Rufus died listening to Mateo singing??? It's so sad but also horribly cute.
I want to write an AU where Mateo and Rufus are the only exception to Death-Cast's call and they get like a happy ever after or just a story about how they're doing in the afterlife so bad but I can't write for shit
pov: you’re me reading They Both Die at the End thinking that they somehow won’t actually die-
