Headed into it not expecting much

This book had such a hype all over bookstagram, booktube, booktok I had to pick it up eventually. Although I'm not really sure it was worth as much hype. Not to say it was not a good read. By all means the book delivers what the title says, they both DO die at the end, which got me all sad even when that was inevitable. Both the characters' backgrounds are very well established from the beginning. They even become relatable at some points. The side characters and friendships are really dimensional too. Plot wise, it's about two guys on their End Day, so some of their conversations hit home, making me want to get up and do something and not just waste away all the time I've got.

frightening yet lovely

i'm so glad i got to read this book. Had an absolutely amazing time reading it. i loved it more because of all the hidden emotions and realizations this book has, not forgetting the humor of course.
