They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I may never be the same again!
What would you do if you were told your life would end within the next 24-hours?
A lot of us may say, spend as much time with our loved ones as we could, right?
But what if they were inaccessible or unavailable to you? What then?
You wouldn’t want to stay inside would you?
Curled up with your books…
Okay, maybe YOU would and maybe I would but most people would want to go out there, live life, have experiences…but with who?
For Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio these are very real questions. The day, September 5th, and they both have received their Death-Cast alerts. They will both die within the next 24-hours. Due to circumstances I will not go into here, they do not have loved ones to spend their last day with.
Through the use of a cleverly imagined social app called, Last Friend, they connect with one another. So begins the last adventure of their lives.
To say this book gutted me would be an understatement.
Once I started down the path of Ruf and Mateo’s journey, I could think of nothing else. I read this, via audio and hardcover, within the course of 24-hours which seemed fitting, considering the subject matter. Upon completion, I immediately added it to my ‘favorites’ shelf, an act I do not take lightly.
The emotions that Silvera is able to draw out – He is a master.
Who would I recommend this to? Anyone who has a heart and wants to read about what it means to LIVE.
All the stars.
Original: Book #4 for Contemporary-A-Thon!!!
Why did I save this one for last?
Basically, I think I will enjoy this one the most but I also KNOW it will crush me.
Pray for me.
