Normally, I’m not a big fan of books that have super insignificant characters as an additional perspective, but I think it worked really well for this book. I didn’t know it was possible to laugh so much on the last day of two boy’s lives, but it happened. He excels in striking the correct balance between depth and comedy, and his talent for dark humor REALLY shined in this book. His teens always speak like teens – the excessive but totally realistic amount of times Rufus said “mad” really spoke to the New Yorker in me. It also features a gay Puerto-Rican main character and a bisexual Cuban main character, and I am ALL ABOUT this ownvoices representation.Īs always, Adam’s writing style is wonderful. They Both Die At The End is a fascinating speculative-YA about living vs. I have been hyping it up for myself since about 2015 and it absolutely did not disappoint!
