There is also a lot of suspense to the story since the reader knows that the main characters will die, but it is hard to predict how. I enjoyed characters such as the person from Death-Cast who calls Mateo and how they all connect to the main plot line.

However, every once in a while there is a chapter told from a side character’s perspective. The story is told through multiple points of view, primarily Mateo’s and Rufus’s.

The writing in this book is also different. I personally liked Mateo’s character more, but Rufus grew on me. He does have a soft side, and he also changes a lot as the book progresses. Rufus is pretty much the opposite of Mateo, as he is a pretty reckless character. Throughout the book, I 100% supported Mateo, and his transformation is so heartwarming. He is determined to break out of his shell on his last day and live the rest of his life to the fullest. Mateo is such a sweetheart who is also overcoming social anxiety. I loved the characters in They Both Die at the End. I would definitely recommend this one, even if it is an emotional rollercoaster. I enjoyed the new technology in the book that almost has a sci-fi vibe to it and the inspiring message. The book follows their first and last day together and their developing relationship. Enter Mateo and Rufus, who meet through an app designed to help people find a friend to spend their last day with. They don’t know how or when, just the date. Basically, everyone gets a phone call on the day they are going to die. This book is one of the most inventive books I’ve read. Review: They Both Die at the End by Adam SIlvera This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. ❃ I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. 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. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for different reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. 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. Adam Silvera reminds us that there’s no life without death and no love without loss in this devastating yet uplifting story about two people whose lives change over the course of one unforgettable day.
