This book was a fun journey. The two main characters were completely different, and they helped each other grow so much throughout the story.
It was also interesting to see how all the characters and events were connected. Some events that at first appeared small ended up having a larger effect on the overall story.
This book despite its name is truly more about living than dieing. The two MC needed to find the right person to spend what little time they had left with, and they ended up living a lot in one final night because of each other.

Rufus is outgoing and not afraid to stand up for himself. He’s had a pretty crappy few years but he’s managed to make friends with the other kids in his foster home. They have become his family. He gets the call that everyone dreads informing him that he’s going to die today. He decides to download the Last Friend app so that he can get paired up with someone to spend his last 24 hours with.
Mateo is a quiet and somewhat sheltered teenager who has been living on his own since his dad is currently in a coma. He gets the call that he is going to die today and he is instantly terrified to leave his apartment. He quickly decides that he doesn’t want to die alone, so he downloads the Last Friend App in hopes that he will come out of his shell on his last day.
Mateo and Rufus meet through the Last Friend App and have an amazingly memorable final 24 hours together. The bring about change in each other that they never thought was possible.
These characters are so easy to relate to and its so hard not to love them. I couldn’t help but laugh with them and cheer for them, and though I did everything in my power not to cry with them I couldn’t stop myself from crying crocodile tears over their trials and tribulations. This story is about growing, changing as a person and allowing yourself to love and be loved in the wake of great adversity.
They Both Die at the End is the first book I’ve read by Adam Silvera, and I can’t wait to read more. Silvera has a way with words that can suck the air from your lungs, bring you to your knees and in the next sentence completely revive you. After turning the final page of this book and wiping the tears from my eyes I closed the book with a new found appreciation for the life I have and the awareness that it can all be taken away in a moment.

I didn’t expect the culmination (outside of the obvious) to happen in the way that it did. It took me by surprise and half cheated my hopes and desires for the story. However, I felt a lot and sniffed to the end.
Great narration, I particularly liked the use of a third narrator to add in any random characters POV of which this book has rather a few. This third narrator contextualised this aspect.
