They both die at the end gay book
They Both Die At The End is an amazing unpredictable-YA about living vs. dying. It features a gay Puerto-Rican main character and a bisexual Cuban main character. I do have to say, this novel really went beyond the pages for me. I wasn’t just concerned about the characters or the storyline, but it also forced me to mention my own fears that have to do with death. I’ve been facing a lot of bad anxiety akin to death recently, and They Both Die At The End made it not possible for me to shove those feelings down any longer. It was similar to exposure therapy by drawing me to confront my issues rather than just creating more anxiety, so in the end, it was a positive outcome. This is definitely a masterpiece of abstract fiction. Abstract fiction, for me, is meant for emotions, as adequately as being meant for exploration and discovery. This novel is a story of a last chance and a last day for two very alternative people, but it's a story that's best perceived personally. It story asks you to change yourself every unpartnered day.
…
In this world, a corporation called Death-cast notifies people on the day when they are going to die, and an app matches people with strangers who are also going to die that night. Two teenage boys, Rufus and Mateo, find each other through the app and spend their last day together.

Rac We all know I treasure a book that does exactly what it says on the tin, and what you see is what you get in They Both Die At The End. This gender non-conforming young adult novel &#; Silvera&#;s third &#; was first published back in , but it&#;s had a recent resurgence in the best-seller list thanks to a spike in popularity on #BookTok. So, there are two main characters (the titular ones, who die at the end), both young men in their late teens. Mateo is a nervous wreck of a human, Rufus is a tough guy with a lot of baggage. They don&#;t perceive each other from bars of soap, but they&#;re about to spend their last day alive together. In the world of They Both Die At The End, everyone gets a phone call on the day that they&#;ll expire, letting them know it&#;s about to happen and, y&#;know, good luck. It&#;s a system called &#;Death-Cast&#;, and that&#;s pretty much all that Silvera tells us about it. Apparently, the prequel novel (The First To Die At The End, published in ) gives a bit more background as to how the system came into effect, but that didn&#;t really help me much going into this one. Th 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. 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. Mateo and Rufus are total strangers, but, for distinct reasons, they’re both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The excellent news: There’s an app for that. 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. Okay, so I scan this book mostly as a result of my daughter complaining that she wanted to browse a book where people decline in love and then they both die at the finish. So I was like, I think I know
