They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera

If you received a phone call letting you know you were going to die that day, how would you spend your last day? 

Mateo and Rufus both receive a call from Death Cast and both are going to die today. They don’t know each other but they are both looking for a new friend on their end day. They meet on an app called Last Friend app and they spend their last hours together. 

Two boys, the same age, living in NYC but yet are completely different. Mateo is antisocial, has never been in a relationship with someone and his dad is in a coma. Rufus lives in a foster home, recently broke up with his girlfriend and has been into some trouble recently. These two strangers build an incredible friendship in less than 24 hours. 

Death cast has been around for a while and the city has accommodations for deckers, those that have received the Death Cast call. Whether it be a free meal at a restaurant, virtual reality experiences or an 80 minute travel around the world, you can find it. 

Mateo and Rufus manage to say goodbye to all their loved ones, do a couple of adventures that they have always wanted to do all while getting to know each other. This was such a unique story. Adam really did a fantastic job writing this. Although it is about dying, it really is also a book about living. I really enjoyed this story and would recommend. 4 stars!
