“Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.” If a book keeps me up past my bedtime, gets me teary, and even after I finish it I still can’t sleep because I need several hours to process how I feel about what I just read, that’s an automatic “highly recommended.” Thanks, Adam. (I think.) They Both Die at the End is a young adult science fiction novel is set in a world just like ours, with one huge difference. In this world, there exists a service called Death-Cast. Every midnight, Death-Cast phones every person who is going to die on the coming day, to give them a heads-up. To give them one last chance to live to the fullest. To say goodbye. To have a fling. To do whatever they need to do on their Last Day. Mateo Torrez is eighteen. He is bright and talented and kind. He is also agoraphobic and hardly ever leaves his apartment in New York City. He’s about to begin college (an online university, of course). On September 5, 2017 (the release date of the book!) Mateo gets the call. It’s a shock. How could a healthy young man who is too timid even to leave home possibly die so young? Rufus Emeterio is seventeen and also a New Yorker. He gets the call in the middle of beating up his ex’s new boyfriend. Rufus is angry and hard edged. But cut him some slack. He lost his parents and his sister in a car accident just four months ago. Now he lives in a foster home and wonders what kind of future awaits him. None at all, it seems. Mateo and Rufus don’t know each other. Neither of these young men has anyone to spend his Last Day with. Fortunately, there’s an app for that. It’s called Last Friend, and before dawn breaks, Rufus and Mateo are Last Friends. They spend a magical day in New York together, doing their damnedest to live to the utmost. They make their goodbyes. They try new things. They party. They fall in love. Rufus teaches Mateo to be brave. Mateo helps Rufus rediscover his gentle spirit. Spoiler: They both die at the end. They Both Die at the End is a tour de force. A novel in which Death is so near it is practically one of the characters will instantly trigger deep feelings, but this is a two-edged sword. Once you’ve got your readers by the feels, you’d better use the opportunity to show us something worth the pain of the journey, or else your book will feel like cheap manipulation. I am happy to say that Adam Silvera not only passed the test, he aced the extra-credit section. Silvera’s “Death-Cast” is more than just a gimmick to get the plot moving. He devotes some of his novel to examining the impact Death-Cast has on society, on hospitals and emergency services, on celebrity culture, on the internet. Even “Deckers,” as they are called—I couldn’t suss out why—have to put up with creepy people on the internet. Silvera also devotes some chapters to introducing a cast of minor characters. Some are Deckers wrestling with their own fates, some are not, some are already known to Mateo or Rufus, others are not, but all of them cross paths with our two young protagonists on their fateful day. For this story belongs to Mateo and Rufus. It isn’t easy spending your Last Day with another Decker. You can’t help wondering whether you have inadvertently sealed your own doom. Maybe the piano destined to land on his head is going to get you too, since you chose to tag along. Hilariously, tragically, the two young men avoid taking elevators. “Two Deckers riding an elevator on their Last Day is either a death wish or the start to a bad joke,” says Rufus. Over the course of their remarkable day and this amazing book, Mateo and Rufus overcome their initial discomfort, get to know one another, say their goodbyes, have adventures, and narrowly escape several incidents that might have been The End for one or both of them right there. They also open up to one another and heal each other’s hurts until at last their budding friendship blossoms into an honest-to-God love. And Silvera strikes not a single false note along the way. But as the day passes—noon, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM—the time allotted to them grows short. The tension mounts as they know, and we know, that it must happen before midnight, yet they and we hope beyond any hope that somehow, some way, they will escape their shared fate. One of the most touching moments in a book chock full of touching moments is when the two young men each try to make the other promise not to die first, because neither wants to be the one left behind, even for a moment. It is a promise neither has the power to make of course, and logically they can’t both make it, but the heart has a logic of its own. At last, death comes for them, deaths that were perfectly predictable, in hindsight. We would do well, every one of us, to follow the example of Mateo and Rufus. It is not given to most of us to know the day of our own deaths. But we all know that Death will come. We cannot escape it any more than Rufus or Mateo could. Most of us will never live a day as full as theirs, but we can at least strive to live as many of the days that remain to us as fully as we are able. Because we all die at the end.

“They Both Die at the End” is a great novel with some of the best theming I have ever encountered in a novel. It captures the whirlwind of emotions a person experiences during a harsh and life-changing time. Silvera introduces two main characters – Mateo and Rufus. Mateo is a shy 18-year-old introverted kid, while Rufus is a 17-year-old foster kid and orphan. They both find out that they are going to die within the next 24-hours according to “Death-Cast,” which is a spooky service which lets you know if you're dying today. The author uses this service as more than a mere eye-catcher- it shows how society has morphed around knowing if you're going to die and the pool of emotions as a result of it. Through Death-Cast, the reader sees how death is such an integral part of mankind. Throughout the novel, the two boys try to make the most out of their last day on Earth. The book evokes the realization of human mortality and shows it into a whole new light. Death isn't something to ruin your future, put you into pressure, or dampen your spirits; it's a way to fix what was broken, to make the most of out of what's left. One of the main things about this novel is how it views death in a new light. It helps you get up and do more than just imagining your future, but creating it. One of my favorite quotes from the book was, “Maybe it’s better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.” The transformation in both Rufus and Mateo shows how impactful it can be to live your life, not just sitting down watching time go by. It's about taking risks and living up to those risks – it's what life is about. The book explores how love doesn't need ages to grow, but experiences. This novel definitely earns its title in The New York Times Bestselling List. A great book can be defined as one that makes an impact and important lesson for the future. Silvera's book does just that. It captivates some of this world's greatest themes of love, friendship, and leaving something better behind. We can't control when or how death comes to us, but we can control how we choose to live until then. A definitive 5-star job.

I've seen tons of reviews about this being a guy wrenching story, people posting pictures of themselves crying when they finished and I put off reading it for a long time because I wasn't sure I could handle the heartbreak. I'm glad I finally took the plunge and gave it a shot. It was a beautiful story of two people living their last day to the fullest. I didn't sob like I expected to, maybe because I was prepared for it, I mean the title tells us everything we need to know after all, but I shed a couple quiet tears for what could have been and ended with a smile on my face, contemplating what book I should try next from Adam Silvera.

On September 5th, two teen boys get a call from Death-Cast to tell them the bad news: they’re both going to die that day. Mateo and Rufus are strangers but meet on an app to make a last friend for their final day. And the two of them have one goal in mind, live a lifetime of adventure in one single day. This is one of those viral sensation books I’ve been meaning to read and just hadn’t gotten to yet. I read another book by Silvera and it was so deeply depressing and sad I was hesitant to read another by him but also wanted to give this one a chance. This one really snuck up on me with the gut punch because I thought I wasn’t emotionally attached to the characters until the end and then I was crying, so Silvera did a wonderful job with that. This book in concept is wonderful and it’s very thought provoking. What if you knew you were going to die? Does that affect how you live for a final day? Should we know we are going to die or does that set off its own chain of events. And while it’s a tough subject I love that this book explores this and gets the reader thinking more outside the box, and about facing fears knowing what’s eventually going to happen to all of us one day.
