My favorite thing about They Both Die at the End is that if you read it, you know the cover isn't lying. They do die, you can sense it, but not in a doomy, all-is-lost way; rather, the book seems to hold your hands and say "They will die. There is nothing you or I can do about it. You're not here to hope in vain; your only job is to love them. It won't change the outcome. Nothing can. But it makes the world better if there's more love in it, and it's up to you to know them and love them for as long as they're here. They will be gone, but your love will remain, and this book will be better for being loved."
#Idk if that makes sense to anyone#but this is one of my favorite books and a main comfort book for me#and this is why#different books are for different things- rwrb/tsbt are for escaping; cressida cowell is for reading slumps and not seeing my friends#They Both Die at the End is for the Bad times#when I don't know what's wrong but it is and severely so#because it helps#I just need to tell people about this wonder of a book#tbdte#they both die at the end#adam silvera#ramblings#the public love me for this one
