#I haven't read a book that's given me the same serotonin as when another character's spot in the web is revealed

one of the things about tbdate is that nearly every single person who reads the book has this idea that they’ll survive, this ability to look at a story and be told how it ends and somehow not believe it just because you don’t want it to be true. And I think that's partially created by the popular media we see now and how all our stories have our favorite characters making it through and finding loopholes, enough of them that it seemed impossible Mateo and Rufus would be anything but the same. The impact of this book couldn’t exist without the precedent set by nearly every other book on the market to deviate from. I just have so many thoughts

#have I talked about tbdate on this blog before? I don't think so #but. I love it so much #not just the story but the /structure/ of the story #the web #oh its my favorite part #I haven't read a book that's given me the same serotonin as when another character's spot in the web is revealed #and the ending... #its like a universal experience to not believe they'll both die #and it's fascinating #we're flat out told what will happen and yet we still hope #resist it #tbdate #they both die at the end
