They Both Die At The End is an amazing unpredictable-YA about living vs. dying. It features a gay Puerto-Rican main character and a bisexual Cuban main character. I do have to say, this book really went beyond the pages for me. I wasn’t just concerned about the characters or the storyline, but it also forced me to address my own fears that have to do with death. I’ve been facing a lot of bad anxiety related to death recently, and They Both Die At The End made it not possible for me to shove those feelings down any longer. It was similar to exposure therapy by drawing me to confront my issues rather than just creating more anxiety, so in the end, it was a positive outcome. This is definitely a masterpiece of abstract fiction. Abstract fiction, for me, is meant for emotions, as well as being meant for exploration and discovery. This book is a story of a last chance and a last day for two very different people, but it's a story that's best perceived personally. It story asks you to alter yourself every single day.
