Summary

A love story with a difference—an unforgettable tale of life, loss and making each day count in the international number one best-selling book of TikTok fame, clocking over 100 million views and counting! The First to Die at the End, the prequel to They Both Die at the End, is now available.

On September 5th, 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 different reasons, they're both looking to make a new friend on their End Day. The good 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.

Another beautiful, heart-breaking and life-affirming book from the brilliant Adam Silvera, author of More Happy than Not, History Is All You Left Me, What If It's Us, Here's to Us and the Infinity Cycle series.

Absolutely breathtaking story

This has been my first experience with an audiobook, and what a choice I made! The way Silvera makes you invested into these characters is spectacular. Even more so, it’s how he makes you translate it into your own life, and that everyone should be living everyday like it’s your last.

Heartbreaking and heartwarming

I honestly love this book I loved it so much I listened to the audio book as well as buying the book! The story made me cry in more than one place. It is one of those books you can’t put down until it’s finished and I was just so sad when I had finished it. I think the performance was outstanding and I enjoyed every minute of it. I will never love a book more than I love this one!!

Heartbreaking

A clever story about finding someone and and losing them. Nothing is taken for granted and anyway life is short. The message is to accept happiness without fear.

Beautiful sadness and happiness all in one

I though the writing was beautiful and the story even more so. I loved the characters development in one day brilliant! And the side character’s chapters were great plot thickeners and built the tension beautifully! Would definitely recommend!

Heartwarming, moving and inspiring 🫶🏼

I loved this book from start to finish. The narrators are really easy to listen to and really capture the essence of the two main characters.

The whole concept of the app that tells you your ‘End Day’ was really well executed and the accessible ways to spend your last day in the book were so imaginative, it makes me wish they actually existed (not because it’s your last day, but being able to travel the world in 80mins would be cool!)

Sad to finish the book because I could have listened to the narrators talk all day. Easy 5 stars because it got me in the feels 🥹👏🏼✨

Take a breath and jump in.

I absolutely loved and hated this book in equal measure. It’s probably the strangest book I’ve listened too (basically knowing a part of the ending). But nothing prepares you for it. I cried at many points. It also made me fall in love.

It’s a great book, and the performance of it is beautiful. Bittersweet is the only word. I wish it ended differently, but I think that’s part of the point. We can’t avoid it, it’s uncomfortable and painful, but that’s what makes it stunning to read.

I will read it again. Probably many times.

good book

I like the book a lot, i feel in love with the characters, but i did find it hard to follow along at times, it jumped from one character perspective to another with out warning. but other than that I loved this book.

This book was incredible to listen to. Easy to follow along and had many lessons.

The narration and storyline were both incredible. The novel made me think about the world in ways I haven’t before and made me realize that we need to live every day as if it’s our last.
