With all of the different perspectives of each character involved I thought it was clever how everyone was connected to each other, even if some of the characters were complete strangers. The book also shows the points of view of many supporting characters and how every decision made, directly and drastically affects another person’s life. I was also enticed by the adventures they take and the exploration of the characters lives before their last day. I was constantly on the edge of my seat, worried that something might happen to either of the main characters. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and found myself not being able to put it down. It is really easy for this kind of idea to get complicated too quickly, however that was not a problem I ran into. It must have been difficult working with the idea of a world where people are notified that it is their last day. This book has a pretty interesting and creative concept. They are faced with the challenge of living a lifetime on their end day as their love for each other blossoms, while spending their last day together. Rufus and Mateo, who are complete strangers, find their paths crossing while using the Last Friend app. The book takes place over the course of one day with the two main characters, teenagers Rufus and Mateo, each receiving alerts on their phones notifying them that it is their last day. However, those receiving calls do not know how or when exactly they will go. If I were to give a general summary of this book, without giving away any spoilers, I would say that it is set in a world where people get a phone call if it is their last day on earth from a company called Death-Cast. Although the title of the book gave away the ending I was still quite excited to get started, which is actually kind of surprising as I am the type of reader who has a habit of peeking at the back of the book to see how it will end.

I was just desperate to read a book that would capture my attention, and this book certainly achieved that.Īt first glance the title immediately reeled me in and peaked my interest as it said that “they”, the two main characters, would not survive by the end of the book. So, I was recommended the book They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera, which I had heard was incredibly melancholy. I recently ran out of books to read and found myself searching for one known to tug at the heartstrings.
