They Both Die at the End

It's mad twisted, but surviving showed me it's better to be alive wishing I was dead than dying wishing I could live forever.

And in this moment, how stupid was to care hits me like a punch to the face. I wasted time and missed fun because I cared about the wrong things.

I may not be able to cure cancer or end vorld hunger, but small kindnesses go a long way.

. Manchmal ist es das Letzte, was sie hinterlassen haben, etwas, das sie unsterblich macht. Egal, wann es passiert, wir alle sterben irgendwann. Niemand kann bleiben, aber was wir zurücklassen, hält uns für andere am Leben 

Niemand will sterben. Selbst Menschen, die in den Himmel kommen wollen, wolen dafur nicht sterben. Und doch ist der Tod das Schicksal, das wir alle teilen. Nienmand ist ihm je entkomnen. Und so soll es auch sein, denn vermutlich ist der Tod die allerbeste Erfindung des Lehens. Er ist der Motor der Veränderung. Er räumt mit dem Alten auf. um Platz für das Neue zu schaffen.

, denn man kann schließlich nicht herumlaufen und den Leuten erklären, dass man ein Baum sein will, und erwarten, dass sie einen ernst nehmen. 

Der Mensch sollte nicht den Tod fürchten, sondern dass er nie anfängt zu leben.

Anyone can have pretty eyes, but only the right kind of person can hum the alphabet and make it vour new favorite beat.

Egal, wie wir zu leben beschlielsen, am Ende sterben wir sowieso.

Für alle, die daran erinnert werden müssen, dass jeder Tag zählt.

It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.

No matter how we choose to live, we both die at the end.

This is a good read. The concept was very well executed! It’s just not entirely my cup of tea, as a reader you just wait for the inevitable. 

Layla Yaneth

For some reason it took me so long to get myself read this but when I finally did I loved every second of it, and I felt empty after finishing this beatiful story.

I loved the book but in the end it was very fast.

I love books that make me cry, and unsurprisingly, this was one of them.

Robin Bell

even though you know they both die, the storyline is well pace. It also provokes you to think about the way you live every day and might possibly want to change it.

Jasmin Bud

I know the spoiler is in the title but it’s not THAT they die, it’s HOW. My god, I can’t listen to Your Song anymore without crying my eyes out. I actually read this book right after Song of Achilles… BAD idea. I would think about this book during the day and just start CRYING LMAO i was not mentally stable AT ALL after this. 

Christena Alvarez

This book was painful, beautiful, and funny all in one. I loved it from start to finish. You know they’ll die, not only by the title but the book itself. The way it’s written and throughout the story it was made increasingly clear to me that there wouldn’t be a happy ending. Silvera doesn’t back out of the bold title, it’s given to you straight. Mateo’s death is painful, it comes fast and unexpected, so much so for a second I completely refused the reality of it. But it’s a lot like real death. One second they’re there, and the next they’re not. My heart strings were pulled almost the entire time and yeah, even though the title is what it is, I cried anyway. I loved this read.

Really great book makes you have a better perception about life

JellyShark

I absolutely loved this book! The relationship between the two main characters was both heart warming and heart breaking. I couldn't help but cry through most of this book.

I understand that this book might be appealing to some but to be honest I was surprised I finished it. It was such a boring read for me and though I wanted to feel connected to any one of the protagonists I just didn’t see myself in any of them which probably was a contributing fact to my rating. And even though I got into it with an expectation of a sad end, the fact that u already know how it ends from the title is anticlimactic and was left wondering how people were crying at the end of it. The execution of the plot was good but overall the plot itself to me was lacklustre.

Its an audiobook. It was just “this person did not get the death call”  from the third narration and I don’t know why. But i felt like early it was the wrong person. I felt annoyed and it was making me anxious.

However, I did finish it. I knew it would be sad. I knew it would be emotional. But the ending was just bittersweet. The last few chapters are what pulled me through. I just am glad to have finished it.

i thought the concept was really interesting but the characters were a little too inconsistent to me

** spoiler alert **
           I’ve heard so many mixed reviews of this book, so many hateful ones. But, I cannot understand why the book gets so much hate. I loved it and it made me cry… what else is needed? Going into the book knowing that they’re going to die is so different but it really allows us as readers to gain a different perspective on how they live their lives. Thank you, Mars (ily) for telling me to read this book, I’m sorry it took a while to finish!

Oh my god this book. I have never and I mean NEVER cried because of a book, but this one… it made me sob. It’s very easy to read and I just love the different POVs. If you need a good cry and an important lesson this book is for you!

You know it’s going to happen but it still breaks your heart when it does!

3.5/5 stars. The only reason im not rating this higher is because it tended to drag on but still glad i picked it up!

The beginning was pretty boring in my opinion. But the ending was really good.

gremlin

Their friendship begun after the Death called. They spent their last day together, doing crazy things, breaking out from their safe places.

You know how the title of the book is so clear yet you still hope for a plot twist? And when you reach few chapters before the ending, you wish they both survived at the end. Then it is the emptiness after you read the ending of this book that will haunt you, it lingers for a moment.

IT IS A SAD BOOK, AN ADMIRABLE SAD BOOK. Not gonna make you cry "cry", but it surely leaves you feel sad.

lisa

I don't know what to say on this book, at the beginning of the reading i didn't really like this book.
It was quite slow and i literally hated some parts.
BUT the last part of this book literally changed my mind COMPLETELY. I think you have to read this book if you want to feels what the characters felt.
I personally preferred the Rufus' parts because i really see myself in him but i think thay everyone that reads this book can see themselves in one of them.
