apollinares 's review for:

They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
3.5
challenging emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Generic YA; nothing special, though I wish it had been. The premise is gripping enough, but the actual book doesn't deliver. The character development is surface at best, which - fair, considering it happens in only a day. Still; tropey and a little glib.
