THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera

THEY BOTH DIE AT THE END by Adam Silvera is a NYT bestseller and the book that broke #booktok. Set in a world like our own, a company called Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but for their own reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. Through an app called the Last Friend, Rufus and Mateo meet up and attempt to live a lifetime in a single day, learning about each other and themselves along the way.

This book is a universal story about friendship, family, courage, identity and love. Above all, it’s a clever and fast read that will leave you with a lingering question: what does it mean to live life to its fullest? In an era where nothing seems certain, this question couldn’t be more timely.
