They Both Die at the End
Review:
Huh. I liked this book more than I thought I would, but I also didn’t like it just as much. By the end, I was emotionally drained and almost numb because of the buildup to death. I felt like Mateos death was so hard but also predictable at the same time that it almost ruined Rufus's endnotes. I liked that Rufus went and talked to Mateos dad; it made me feel happy that Mateo had him. They hinted at Rufus's death which was disappointing and left the story slightly unfinished. But I also think that they did that on purpose. The whole afterlife talk made me sad because I believe there is none, and reading that knowing that there is nowhere left for them to go was so sad. I felt like the romance was a little rushed, but I think that was mainly because the book was set in one day and on the day that they died. I was always looking for clauses as to why the death date was so accurate, but I think it was the government killing people so that they could stay in control. The only loose end was Delilah and what happened to her. It was a great book, but I am so numb right now that it doesn’t register. I loved it, but it was also devastating, which is why I gave it a four.
