They both die at the end

 

The book we would be reviewing today is, 'They both die at the end' penned by Adam Silvera. 


Adam Silvera is an Ameican author of young adult fiction novels. Some of his works include, 'What if it's us', 'History is all you left me' and 'The infinity cycle'. 



The plot is set in the year 2017, where an organisation called Death-Cast calls people to inform them that they would face an untimely death in the next 24 hours and encourage them to make their remaining time worthy. 

 

The plot is narrated by Mateo and Rufus, two teenage boys who receive their alert from Death-Cast and find each other through last friend app, an app designed to allow people to find someone on their doom day so that they do not feel lonely. 


Mateo and Rufus set on a journey, a race against time to discover themselves and to cross out as many things as they can from their bucket list before their time runs out. 


“Maybe it is better to have gotten it right and been happy for one day instead of living a lifetime of wrongs" is an extract from the book which demonstrate us that one happy moment is more than enough to say that we spent a great life than to have had lived a long life regretting the choices we made.


“Sometimes the truth is a secret you're keeping from yourself because living a lie is easier”  is a quote from the book that explains to us that sometimes we have a hard time accepting the truth and live a life trying to fool ourselves which in the end is the thing that we regret the most.


“Entire lives aren't lessons, but there are lessons in lives” is an extract that illustrates us that we do need to learn from our mistakes which teach us valuable lessons to ourselves as well as the people around us.


“No one goes on, but what we leave behind keeps us alive for someone else.” is a quote that explains to us that we even after we pass on to the other side, we leave behind precious memories to ones that love us and are left behind. 


“We were all lost and okay with not being found for a while.” is a quote from the book that explains to us that there are times when we just want to be lost in the chaos called life and it is okay to take time to figure out things.


“Stories can make someone immortal as long as someone else is willing to listen.” is an extract from the book that tells us that no matter how long has it been that a person left us, the stories, the memories of that person will always keep them alive in our hearts. 


This is a tale of love, loss and friendship and if you are seeking an emotional rollercoaster ride, this is your pick. Grab your copy  and dive right in!
