They Both Die At The End

They Both Die At The End - Adam Silvera

Rating: 5 stars

Format: owned physical book

Challenge prompt: Popsugar2022 - A Booktok recommendation

Spoilers: yes

This book took me a few months to finish just because the title tells you how it will end and I didnt want to say goodbye to these characters. The love between Rufus and Mateo is so bittersweet. I ugly cried when Mateo died, but we all knew that’s how it would end. This is a wonderful book which reminds us to live while we have the chance - do what you want to, don't let fear stop you. Its lovely but a lesson i think is hard to take onboard for some reason.

Recommended for those who love a good cry, bittersweet endings and queerness

The Island - C. L. Taylor

Rating : 3 stars Format : borrowed audiobook (library) Challenge prompt : Book Hoarder 2022 - a borrowed book Spoilers : no The Island follows 6 teens who end up stranded on a deserted island and their phobias begin coming true. Or do they? The writing of the teenagers was well done, and I liked the different viewpoints. The big reveal at the end was a bit…. Overdone. It was still surprising, I didn’t guess it but it’s not so rare. This book was ok, I read it quickly but it didn’t hold my attention the whole time. But I’d like to read more by this author, they seem to write a bunch of psychological thrillers.

Pull - Jaime Winn

Rating : 4 stars Format : ARC ebook from NetGalley Challenge : none Spoilers : sorta Pull tells the story of two teens who are drawn to each other but is it good or is it bad? I liked this book a lot although the whole time I was waiting for some religious nonsense to happen. It didn’t (yet?) but this is the first in a series. I’m interested to see what’s next for Mischa and Casey. I felt for Mischa and what she was going through and I was so very happy with how it ended because I was worried for a bit there. Some shifty happenings are definitely going on so I’ll be looking out for the next book! I feel this was all just set up for the main happenings in the series.
