It's me.. the real life American
-
So, if Steph is the Queen of booktube, does that make Jack the Joker?
-
This is a book tube dream
-
the way steph just ignores or does not hear some of jacks puns and keep a straight face makes me laugh so hard
-
I love how Jack is looking over to Steph every time he's made a joke. Like he's thinking: 'Please laugh. A little chuckle c'mon.'
-
i really didn't expect the "today i'm joined by - a real american!"😭😭 jack's really funny
-
The us cover of a little life is actually a famous photo names "The orgasmic man" it was taken in the 1960's. Basically it's supposed to be a mystery between whether this man is in pain or pleasure. This heavily relates to the books the more u think about it D:
-
The US version of They Both Die At The End is so much better than the UK. That hourglass situation is too on the nose and has no emotion. The US cover really gives you the vibe of the book. The scythe shadow and the nighttime romantic walk? chef’s kiss
-
There's no way the UK cover beats that shade of blue on the US cover of They Both Die at the End. It looks good in the picture, but holding it in your hand it feels like it shouldn't even exist, it's beautiful.

Jack: “Rule Britannia.” Me, an Indian: (nervous laughter)
-
Okay I get that the UK cover of ‘They both die at the end’ seems more unique BUT did you notice on the US cover their shadow is a grim reaper??
-
How do you not acknowledge the genius of the US cover of They Both Die At The End? The clouds forming a skull? The shadows of the boys forming a grim reaper? The clocks on the side? Are you joking me? How is the UK one more reflective?! aaaargh hahahaha :D sry you didn't want us to get upset, but I just did :D
-
“Our real life American” 😂😂this is how I feel when I meet someone from the UK. Love your UK vs. US series. Always a treat ☺️💜
-
imagine them with uncarley, literally holly trinity of booktube
-
STEPH AND JACK BEING TWO SWIFTIES AND BOOKTOK/TUBE ROYALTY IS EVERYTHING I NEEDED IN LIFE
-
The way she just went like yeah, autumn vibes.. Leaves falling down like pieces into place I DIED
-
"The flat share" has a really.... unique starting point. They DO share a bed (& flat) despite not meeting each other for like half the book. Both are real, breathing humans in the same timeline :D It was super simple, but in a cozy blanket kind of way
-
Yeah but guys, the shadow on the sidewalk in the U.S. version of “They Both Die at the End” is THE GRIM REAPER!! Also, you both need to read Eleanor Oliphant. It’s amazing. Also you guys are great 🎉
-
I CAN'T WITH THE EUROVISION PART--- as a European, I loved it because, srry, its true (but same with my country lmao)
-
I’m happy that Jack utilises beautiful wordplay and comedic craft mixed with Historical Humour 😂
