This book focused on the idea of what you would do if you knew you were going to die.

In this world there is a program called Death Cast that calls up people between midnight and 3 a.m. and lets them know that they are going to die that day. Rufus and Mateo both receive the call and need someone to spend their last day with. Neither of them is without people in their lives but because of outside forces they can’t spend their Last Day with those people. They use the Last Friend app and find one another.

Throughout their last hours they find a connection and find a way to release their true selves.

Both Mateo and Rufus are likable. They were these two teens who were dealt a bad hand. Fate had it out for them. Both are trying to find a way to find a reason to live. Mateo lost his mother when she gave birth to him and his dad is in a coma. Rufus survived the accident that killed his family. Both of them are reeling from horrible events and both have lost themselves inside their own fear and tragedy.

In one day they find each other and realize that they are not doomed people. They are going to die but their spirits and souls don’t have to die. Mateo learns how to live without fear and Rufus finds the side of himself that he thought he lost when he lost his family. Both boys find a deeper connection then just friendships in each other.

Rufus and Mateo have only one day but they make it mean something and find love in the process.

This book is another emotional rollercoaster by Adam Silvera.
