They Both Die at the End
by Adam Silvera
💔 First thing’s first. Can we please take a moment to praise the name of this book! ‘They Both Die at the End’ - the name itself gives away the tragic climax of the story… we know the protagonists are gonna die at the end of the story, the story is gonna be heartbreaking and you’re gonna end up in tears after reading it, yet there’s something so intriguing about the name that you can’t help yourself from picking up this book.
‘They Both Die in the End’ is a story of loss, hope, and the redeeming power of friendship, written by one of my favourite Contemporary YA authors, Adam Silvera.
💔 Summary:
A technology has been developed so that Death-Cast can call people up and inform them that they have only about 24 hours before they die. And it’s NEVER wrong.
One day, a little after midnight, two teenagers, Mateo and Rufus receive the dreaded call from Death-Cast. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. Using an app called Last Friend (which is able to pair you with someone who knows it’s their last day), they meet each other for the first time, for one last great adventure—to live a lifetime in a single day. Their relationship grows as they learn more about one another, and how their stories end will completely shatter you.
💔Review: This book swallowed me up completely! Mateo is shy and has more to him than meets his own eyes. The hardened Rufus finds out he is actually a good guy, who has just made some bad choices. The pair find some solace and peace in each other’s company before they die. Mateo is the purest soul and he finally manages to live his life after years of hiding away. Rufus gets a chance to confront his past and live his dreams with Mateo. They bring out the best in one another and they’ve only got hours together 😢.
I love Adam’s writing style and despite these heavy thoughts the book is quite uplifting and comforting.
