When he's doing his own funeral with his foster family and gang, the cops have been called and he's forced to flee his friends in order to not spend his last day in jail. Rufus is in the middle of beating up his ex-girlfriend's new boyfriend when he gets the call. Mateo is a very shy and sheltered eighteen-year-old, who feels like he spent his life playing it too safe when he gets the call from Death-Cast. Mateo and Rufus meet through "The Last Friend" phone application, which gets people who want to just hook up on their last day, one man who claims to have "the cure for death in his pants," people who are not dying who want to be there for others, and many more. Whether, in reality, this is a good thing or not, I'm not even going to say. The point is so each individual will have that opportunity to do the things they put off and to say their final goodbyes. Death-Cast calls every person that is going to die that day between midnight and three. Adam Silvera painted a picture so beautifully with his characters, but also this world.
A book has never just laid it out there like this (as far as I know), but you still can't help falling in love with the two major and all the minor characters. I did say in my title for the review that you know what's going to happen.
This book is super emotional for me, because it's reminds me of personal stuff that being said, I can see people enjoying the book and not having this crazy personal reaction and cry like a baby (like I did). You try and prep yourself, but it won't help. In the tradition of Before I Fall and If I Stay, They Both Die at the End is a tour de force from acclaimed author Adam Silvera, whose debut, More Happy Than Not, the New York Times called “profound.” It’s called the Last Friend, and through it, Rufus and Mateo are about to meet up for one last great adventure-to live a lifetime in a single day. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. On September 5, a little after midnight, Death-Cast calls Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio to give them some bad news: They’re going to die today.
