They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

5.0

“...stories can make someone immortal as long as someone else is willing to listen.”

I finally got past my emotions and arrived to some realizations.

1. I realized that the reason this book can cause such an impact is because, a number of the readers who started reading this subconsciously expected there to be a different ending. If you are like me who is a hardcore fantasy reader and this being your first Adam Silvera book, then we are probably feeling somewhat the same emotions.

2. Adam Silvera put cliche characters, in a very-not-cliche plot.

3. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED the fact that foster homes were not written out to be some cage that always kept characters trapped until they could get out. They found a family within that foster home and the parents of the home weren't even that cliche couple who hated what they were doing and were only doing it for the money. At the very least, they actually cared about the kids that were put in their care. It's refreshing because I never liked the fact foster homes were generally given a bad image.

4. They never really explained how the system works. Which gives it a sense of mystery that is very appropriate for the book.
