They Both Die at the End is a captivating dystopian novel by Adam Silvera about what would happen if people knew when they were destined to die. The story centers around two boys: Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio. Mateo is quiet, simple. He prefers the company of his dad and the solitude of their apartment to the outside world. Rufus is a foster kid with a knack for adventure. The two would never have crossed paths if they hadn’t gotten the same call on November 5th, saying they would die that day. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but for their own reasons, both are looking to make a new friend to spend their last day with. Lucky for them, there’s an app called Last Friend that can do just that for them. Through this app, Mateo and Rufus meet each other and prepare for one last great adventure.
This book will make you laugh, cry, and scream with frustration, like books so often do. More than that, though, it teaches you to live life to the fullest, take chances, and meet someone new.
