They Both Die at the End Adam Silvera Books

Yet another emotional rollercoaster by Adam Silvera. Every one of his books is full of emotional turmoil but written in the most beautiful of ways. I know his books are going to hurt, hell the title gives it all away here, but I am still eager to read the story. It is a nod to his writing talent that he makes me okay with being an emotional wreck as I read.

This book focused on the idea of what would you do if you knew you were going to die. In this world there is a program called Death Cast that calls up people between midnight and 3 and lets them know that they are going to die that day. Rufus and Mateo both receive the call and need someone to spend their last day with. Neither of them is without people in their lives but because of outside forces they can't spend their Last Day with those people. They use the Last Friend app and find one another. Throughout their last hours they find a connection in each other and find a way to release their true selves.

I adored both Mateo and Rufus. They were these two teens who were dealt a bad hand. Fate had it out for them. Both are trying to find a way to find a reason to live. Mateo lost his mother when she gave birth to him and his dad is in a coma. Rufus survived the accident that killed his family. Both of them are reeling from horrible events and both have lost themselves inside their own fear and tragedy.

In one day they find each other and realize that they are not doomed people. Yes, they are going to die but their spirits and souls don't have to die. Mateo learns how to live without fear and Rufus finds the side of himself that he thought he lost when he lost his family. Both boys find a deeper connection then just friendships in each other.

I loved the way life was examined in this novel. The way the idea of living for yourself and finding a way to make life count was talked about. It was a beautiful way of showing that life is never over if you can find the right ways to live it. Rufus and Mateo had only one day but they made it mean something and found love in the process.

I also loved the way small other stories were told throughout the novel. These were people that had some contact with Mateo or Rufus. Some was good interactions and some weren't but in the end it showed how connected everyone is. You don't realize the impact you have on people you barely interact with on a daily basis. A simple smile or tap on the shoulder could change things. Or it may not change anything but what matters is that no one lives in a vacuum. All lives are connected for better or for worse.

I desperately wanted this to end in a way that made me more happy than sad, in the end it gave me hope. Hope that life is always worth living no matter what. Hope shown through these two boys who found a way to make a day matter like a lifetime. Adam Silvera really does know how to write a poignant and meaningful tale.

They Both Die at the End Adam Silvera Books Reviews

This book...
Adam Silvera just has strings attached to my heart that he yanks on every time I pick up his books. I loved Mateo and Rufus, their story was so cute and sweet and it broke my heart. The wonderful love of my life made fun of me for picking a book with the ending literally in the title then told me he'd be super disappointed if they didn't die because it's the title! I'm refusing to give any spoilers because book titles rarely mean anything! Anyways, Mateo was the best character ever probably in any book ever. It's very often that I like the good guys I mean they are hardly compelling or have real reasons to be good. They just do it cause it's what your suppose to do and that's usually boring. Mateo...he was the good guy...and he made others better because of who he was. His character got me so attached to their story and their day and his adventure because sometimes getting outside of your house is the hardest part of the day. Rufus was so expressive and he always wanted to be his best self even fighting his own personal grief. That end line of the book just...I can't describe what it did to my heart just go read the whole book and understand for yourself. His relationship with his friends and his refusal to get them hurt was touching. His loyalty to them made me want to go find more friends. I loved them both so much.
I don't know if I'm alone in saying this but this book felt very We Are The Ants and that books fantastic. If your a fan of that one you'll love this one too. I'd read another book with a concept somewhat the same and I didn't like it because the characters were horrible and the whole time this is what I wanted from the story. I love the concept, last day to live and deciding how to live it to the fullest. I mean it makes you think and I love the sci-fi elements he added with the world center and the Make-A-Moment businesses. Also he added a capitalist jab in there, or that's how I read it with the prices they charged the dying. I mean gross!
Anyways it's a gorgeously written book with beautiful characters and cute male friendship with excellent gay and bi representation so go pick it up and love it just as much as I do!
It has been a long time since a book has made me ugly cry. Like truly uncontrollable sobs. This book made me ugly cry twice and sniffle up at least four additional times. If you're the type to run from anything that makes you feel, I promise you, you won't want to miss this book.

In a world where Death-Cast can call you to inform you that sometime in the next twenty-four hours, you'll die -- Mateo Torrez and Rufus Emeterio get the call. These two teenagers find each other via a Last Friend App, where 'deckers' (the dying) can find a friend for their end day. If you had one day to live, what would you do? Mateo and Rufus go on one last big adventure discovering what it means to live, love, and leave no regrets.

This was a haunting, emotionally charged, ride. A page-turning easy read about the power of friendship. I couldn't put it down. Must read.
Adam Silvera writing about death. (Dude really knows how to paint a picture of tragedy. Pg- 100.) The words apply to Adam too.
My thing.
17 Points of View.
Definitely my thing.
Overall, this book was a great read.

My favorite lines.
* Stories can make someone immortal as long as someone else is willing to listen.
* I think we made his day by not pretending he's invisible.
* Sometimes living is hard and complicated because of fear.
* A new memory to laugh over is just as good as reflecting on an old one.
* I wasted time and missed fun because I cared about the wrong things.
* Affection from millions and intimacy from that one special person are completely different beast.
* Entire lives aren't lessons, but there are lessons in lives.
* You may be born into a family, but you walk into friendships.
* It's better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs.
