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.
