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.

Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good news: There’s an app for that. 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.

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.”

amazing.

this book puts a whole new perspective on life. it is extremely sad and extremely happy at the same time. the passion of the voice actors really captures the emotions of the characters and what they may have been feeling in those moments. i wish i could experience it for the first time again. 10/10.

I’m CRYING

Wasn’t expecting my first days of 2022 to go down like this!

In a world where your death date is predicted, I truly wasn’t prepared for all the emotional turns Adam Silvera took me on. Both within the story and also in my own head, imagining what life would be like if I knew when my family members would die.

It’s a beautifully told story. I really do feel like I got a glimpse of the sadness, but also the freedom, found in death.

Great voice acting as well! Would love to see this concept turned into a movie or tv show some day!

a bit over hyped but worth a listen

when 9 hours is spent making you connect to characters of course you're going to feel a little sad when their stories come to an end but I'll be honest I didn't quite enjoy the journey to get attached to them. the parts about this book that I like the most is when they Branch out to surrounding characters and tell us what they're doing this day

Currently Crying

This is an amazing book that is beautifully narrated. I will be listening to it again in the future, but for now I need to wipe my tears and start living like it's my last day.

Powerful

Just like the characters in this book, how they want more time. Having more time with the characters themselves and more to go on would be amazing, but where it ended was well done.
